B. Jeyamohan (also credited as Jayamohan; born 22 April 1962) is one of the most influential contemporary, Tamil and Malayalam writer and literary critic from Nagercoil in Kanyakumari District in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. From the time he entered the world of Tamil literature in the 1990s, Jeyamohan has had a deep impact on the Tamil literary landscape as it emerged from the post-modern phase. His best-known and critically acclaimed work is ''Vishnupuram'', a deeply layered fantasy set as a quest through various schools of Indian philosophy and mythology. In 2014 he started his most ambitious work Venmurasu, a modern adaptation of the epic Mahabharatha. His other well-known novels include ''Rubber'', ''Pin Thodarum Nizhalin Kural'', ''Kanyakumari'', ''Kaadu'', ''Pani Manithan'', ''Eazhaam Ulagam'', and ''Kotravai''. His writing is heavily influenced by the works of humanitarian thinkers ''Leo Tolstoy'' and ''Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi''. Drawing on the strength of his life experiences and extensive travel around India, Jeyamohan is able to re-examine and interpret the essence of India's rich literary and classical traditions. Since 1994, Jeyamohan has conducted literary meetups and writers' conclaves in ''Kutraalam'',''Ooty'', and ''Thirparappu'' that have enabled discussions and exchanges of ideas between Tamil and Malayalam literary spheres. In 2009, his readership circle set up the ''Vishnupuram Ilakkiya Vattam'' to develop the level of literary awareness in Tamil Nadu, and to shine light on under-recognized pioneers of modern Tamil literature. Jeyamohan's output includes nine novels, ten volumes of short-stories/plays, thirteen literary criticisms, five biographies of writers, six introductions to Indian and Western literature, three volumes on Hindu and Christian philosophy and numerous other translations and collections. He has also collaborated on screenwriting for three Malayalam and three Tamil movies .Though his literary works in Malayalam are very few when compared with the volume of his works in Tamil, he is off late concentrating in writing scripts for Malayalam Movies also. Being a Malayalee by birth and having been brought up in the bilingual (Malayalam and Tamil)culture of Kanyakumari District, he, like in Tamil, is at ease in Malayalam also. Ozhimuri, the Malayalam film penned by him got much critical acclaim.The film depicted the lives of Nair families in the present day Kanyakumari District. In 2012, when the Tamil weekly Ananda Vikatan published top 10 book recommendations from noted authors, 6 out of 10 have recommended Jeyamohan's Aram short story collection. Besides these, Jeyamohan writes on his website, with more than five thousand entries on topics ranging from Indian literature to commentary on contemporary India.
