Mukundan, is an Indian writer of Malayalam literature. Many of his early works are set in Mah\u00e9 (Mayyazhi) which has earned him the moniker, Mayyazhiyude Kathakaaran. He is known to be one of the pioneers of modernity in Malayalam literature and Mayyazhippuzhayude Theerangalil, Daivathinte Vikrithikal, Kesavante Vilapangal and Pravasam are some of his notable works.He has received many honours including Vayalar Award, Sahitya Akademi Award, Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award.

Oru Dalit Yuvathiyude Kadanakatha reveals how Vasundhara, an actress has been insulted in the course of acting due to some unexpected situations. It proclaims the postmodern message that martyrs are created not only through ideologies, but through art also. Kesavante Vilapangal (Kesavan’s Lamentations) one of his later works tells the story of a writer Kesavan who writes a novel on a child named Appukkuttan who grows under the influence of E. M. S. Namboodiripad.[7]Daivathinte Vikrithikal has been translated into English and published By Penguin Books India.[8][9][10]In 2008, Mukundan’s magnum opus Mayyazhippuzhayude Theerangalil fetched him the award for the best novel published in the last 25 years.[citation needed] Three of his novels were made into feature films in Malayalam . He also wrote the script and one of them secured a state film award.[11] His novel Pravasam (sojourn in non-native land) is the story of a Malayali whose journeys carry him around the world.[12]Delhi Gadhakal (Tales from Delhi), a novel published in November 2011 is his recollections in India’s capital city, New Delhi.[13][14]Mukundan served as the president of Kerala Sahitya Akademi from October 2006 until March 2010.[15]Awards and honours[edit]  Mukundan received Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Novel in 1973 for Ee Lokam Athiloru Manushyan.[16] This was followed by Sahitya Akademi Award in 1992 when Daivathinte Vikrithikal (God’s Mischief) was selected for the award; the novel also received the N.V.
