U. K. Kumaran ((マラヤーラム語:യു.കെ. കുമാരന്); born 11 May 1950) is a Malayalam-language novelist, short story writer, essayist and journalist from Kerala, India. He is a recipient of the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award.〔("UK Kumaran felicitated" ). ''Mathrubhumi''. 17 September 2012. Retrieved 13 June 2013.〕 ==Biography== Kumaran was born in Payyoli, Kozhikode on 11 May 1950. He studied at Government AUP School, Kizhoor and Government High School, Payyoli. He obtained a degree in economics from Guruvayurappan College, Kozhikode and completed diploma in Journalism and Public Relations. He started his career as a journalist, in ''Veekshanam Vaarika'' as Assistant Editor. Later he joined ''Kerala Kaumudi'' and worked as its Kozhikode unit chief. He has held numerous posts including the State Vice-President of Kerala Pathrapravarthaka Union, Member of Kerala State Telephone Advisory Committee, Member of Calicut University Journalism Board of Studies, Vice-Chairman of Kerala Sahitya Akademi, Advisory committee member of National Book Trust and the director of Navakerala Co-operative Publishing House. He began his literary career with a short story "Chalanam" at the age of 17. The story emerged around people whose lives and livelihood revolved around movie announcements being made with drum beats in the Payyoli market. An element of sensitivity marks Kumaran's stories. They are held together by a spur – a smell, a sentence or a sensitive gesture. He wrote his first novel ''Valayam'' when still in college. An author of seven novels, he enjoys the wide canvas a novel presents. "It is a comprehensive landscape, peopled with characters and nature. Each character should grow and reach a point where they move towards a climax well. You cannot leave them mid-way, unfinished."〔P. Anima (4 August 2012). ("Matters of the mind" ). ''The Hindu''. Retrieved 13 June 2013.〕 He is married to Geetha. They have two children: Mridul Raj and Megha and daughter-in-law is Bhavya Mridul. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「U. K.
