Overview

"O.V. Vijayan's ""Khazakkin Ithikasam"" is one of the masterpieces of modern Indian literary fiction. This novel is considered to be an unrivalled achievement of literary modernism in Malayalam. ""Khazakin Ithikasam"" stands as a pioneer in three levels. First: It changed the format that was followed in writing novel. It presented a narration involving multiple characters. It introduced a mode of telling a deep story, consisting of ancient folk stories and psychological sub-plots. Second: It took the creative language to a new level. O.V. Vijayan made his mark in the language following the legendary novelist C.V. Raman Pillai and the renaissance period writer Vaikkam Muhamed Bhaseer. Third: This novel created a magical story atop realism. As magical Realism was being introduced in Latin American literature, a similar kind of trend was simultaneously introduced here in the form of ""Khazakin Ithikasam"" """"Khazakin Idhikasam"""", which is cherished as a miracle amongst all the novels in Indian language, is now published for the first time in Tamil translation. The translation by Yu.Ma. Vaasuki, who has contributed significantly in modern poems and novels, presents the novel with liveliness and without losing any of its colors and light."
