Balakrishna Panicker V. They separated after 11 years of marriage. He has a daughter from this marriage, Sithara, who works as a business executive in the United States. In he married dance artist Kalamandalam Saraswathy with whom he has a daughter, dancer Aswathy Nair. His first major work Naalukettu The Legacy; is a veritable depiction of the situation which prevailed in a typical joint family when its fortunes are on a steady decline.

The novel remains a classic in Malayalam fiction. It contributed to the renewal of a literary tradition initiated by S. It was given the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award in It has had 23 reprints and was translated into 14 languages and had a record sale of half a million copies as of and still features in the best-seller lists. MT himself adapted the novel into a television film for Doordarshan in It won the Kerala State Television Award for the year Asuravithu The Demon Seed; which is set in a fictional Valluvanadan village named Kizhakkemuri can be considered almost as a sequel to Naalukettu.

It has the same geophysical and socio-cultural setting. The novel describes the plight of the protagonist Govindankutty, the youngest son of a proud Nair tharavadu, as he is trapped between the social scenario, social injustice, and his own inner consciousness. In Asuravithu there are clear indications of the damaging impact of an alien culture in the pollution of the indigenous culture and the disintegration of the family and the community.

These two early novels—Naalukettu and Asuravithu—depict a phase in which the economic and cultural scenario of Kerala manifested symptoms that were to develop into dangerous ecocidal tendencies at a later stage. His later novels, such as Manju Mist; and Kaalam Time;are characterised by profuse lyricism which cannot to be found in Naalukettu or Asuravithu.

Set in the splendid landscape of Nainital, it stands apart as set in a milieu different from the usual one, the Valluvanadan village. However, both MT and Verma have rejected these claims. In the novel Kaalam, MT returns to his favorite milieu, the dilapidated joint-family Nair tarwad set against the wider backdrop of the Valluvanadan village in the backdrop of the crumbling matrilineal order of Kerala in a newly independent India.

Sethu, the protagonist, is toppled over by the eddies of social, cultural, and economic transformation. Kohli V. Venugopal Nirmal Verma K. Parasaran B. Narayanaswamy Arcot Ramachandran Trichur V.
