India’s longest novel Avakasikal’s writer MK Menon ‘Vilasini’

Courteous greetings on the occasion of 91st birth anniversary of Malayalam language novel writer Late Moorkkanaat Krishnankutty Menon. He is the author of India’s longest novel, Avakasikal (The Inheritors), for which he won the Kendra Sahitya Akademi Award in 1981 and Vayalar Award in 1983.
He made his debut as a novelist with the book Niramulla Nizhalukal (1965) that gives a vivid description of the lives of Malayalis in Singapore during the Second World War. He has a special liking for the stream of consciousness novel. As a novel that narrates the entire story through what passes in the minds of characters is remarkable.
