Kakkanadan
Indian Malayalam-language writer (1935–2011)
George Varghese Kakkanadan (23 April 1935 – 19 October 2011[3]), commonly known as Kakkanadan, was an Indian short-story writer and novelist in the Malayalam language.
His works broke away from the neo-realism that dominated Malayalam literature through the 1950s and 1960s. He is often credited with laying the foundation of modernism in Malayalam literature. He is a recipient of Kendra Sahitya Akademi Award and Kerala Sahitya Akademi Awards in addition to numerous other awards and recognitions.[4]
