His was an extraordinary life. M.T. Vasudevan Nair influenced the language and society in the way no other writer did.

With his novels, short stories and screenplays, he enriched Malayalam literature and cinema like nobody else. He was also an exceptional literary journalist. It cannot be easy to write the life story of such a man. It took K. Sreekumar three years to come up with the biography of M.T. That time seems to be well spent.
