V. K. N.
Vadakkke Koottala Narayanankutty Nair, commonly known as V.K.N. (6 April 1932 – 25 January 2004), was a famous Malayalam writer, noted mainly for his high-brow satire. He wrote novels, short stories and political commentaries. His works are noted for their multi-layered humour, trenchant criticism of the socio-political classes and ability to twist the meanings of words contextually and lend a touch of magic to his language.〔
==Biography==
A native of Kerala in south India, V.K.N. was born on 6 April 1932 in Thiruvilwamala in Thrissur district. (C. P. Nair, one of his close friend, tells that V.K.N's correct date of birth is 7 April 1929.)〔"Ennu Swantham V.K.N" published by Priyatha books〕 After completing his matriculation, he joined the Malabar Devaswom Board and worked there for 9 years. Like a number of modern Malayalam writers such as O. V. Vijayan, V.K.N. spent many years in New Delhi (from 1959 to 1969) as an English journalist. The experiences he gained during these years, which coincided with the nascent post-independent India, are reflected in his book, ''Pitamahan'' (The Great Grandfather). V.K.N.'s first story ''Parajithan'' was published in the October 1953 issue of ''Mathrubhumi Weekly''.
