This comprehensive book delves into the rich tapestry of nearly 100 short stories penned by the renowned author Kaaroor Neelakanta Pillai. Positioned among the esteemed Big Six of the 'new wave in Malayalam literature,' which emerged in the mid-1940s, Kaaroor's stories vividly portray the lives, aspirations, and vulnerabilities of ordinary individuals, including farmers, fishermen, rickshaw pullers, underpaid school teachers, and the marginalized members of society. By treating his stories as case studies, the book adopts a sociological lens to explore the representation of a diverse range of themes, including romantic overtones, erotic pursuits, marital episodes, family dynamics, the experiences of children, behavioral patterns, shades of greed, the concept of spirituality, and the politics inherent in Malayalam literature.
To enhance accessibility and facilitate scholarly engagement, this book includes an annotated transcreation of Kaaroor's works, accompanied by detailed commentary. This meticulous approach ensures that his stories are brought to the broader readership, while also serving as a valuable resource for scholars and researchers specializing in South Asian literature, English literature, linguistics, cultural studies, as well as those with an interest in Malayalam literature and the Malayali/Indian diaspora worldwide.
