Anand's works
Posted by Gireesh
Reading Anand is an act of discussion. He writes from the planes where philosophy and history mix together and become an intellectual blow to the reader. Anand’s characters, whether they are IAS officers or prostitutes, speaks philosophy. Anand wrote short stories, poems and novels, but will regard first and last as a novelist. Through his first novel, ‘Alkkoottam’ Anand made an unchallenging place in Malayalam literary fields.
“Maroobhumikal Undakunnathu’, may be regarded as one of the best of piece of work in Malayalam literature. The latest one, after 'Govardhanatey Yathrakal' is ‘Apaharikkapetta Daivanghal (Stolen Gods)’. The novel mainly revolves around three characters. Ganeshan, his wife Naseema, and their son Aman. Aman dies in an accident. Before that, Ganeshan and Naseema lose him for five years and then he comes back, again the destiny calls him back. The death of Aman vapors all the colors from their life. They continue their life mechanically and one day accidentally Ganeshan see some of his son’s writings. It opens him a vivid picture of his son, his journeys and the poems he wrote. Aman takes the shape of any individual who can be lost at any moment in the crowd. Anand brings out the impact of urbanization on human relationship, particularly of parents-children. The novel also traces the never ending sufferings of people who are thrown out from their roots and made destitute. One of the characteristic of the novel is that it’s a mix of verse and prose where Anand himself wrote numerous poems.
A good piece for serious reading.
