U.A. Khader 1935-2020
Celebrated Malayalam writer U A Khader, who published more than 70 novels, short stories and travelogues that are considered among the finest works in the language, died in Kozhikode on Saturday. He was 85.
The writer was undergoing treatment for cancer for some time, PTI reported, quoting family sources.
Khader was known for a progressive and secular outlook to his life and his literature.
His most acclaimed work of fiction, Thrikkottoor Peruma (Thrikkottoor Lore), won him the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award in 1984. A string of 11 stories situated in the fictional landscape of Thrikkottoor, the work stood out for its depiction of rural life in Kerala’s Malabar region, well-defined characters, and a folksy narrative style.
