In Malayalam a general feeling has emerged recently among writers and readers
that novel is the medium most suitable for the comprehensive depiction of the human condition of this historical juncture.The close acquaintance with the translations of novels from Latin American countries,Turkey,Portugal and Spain published during the last five years might have worked behind this.More than that the influence of 'Atujeevitham' the novel by Benyamin which has been very widely read so as to become a house hold name among the literature reading public in Kerala might be there. Anyhow it is an interesting fact,and a little bit funny in certain cases that hundreds of people,among them a large majority making their maiden attempt in writing,some of them at the age of 65 or 70, are seriously involved in writing novels.
