Ezhuthappuram (എഴുതാപ്പുറം) - Books and Banter

We've had a fair share of these. The books, in our growing years, that someone told us not to read. The books that we had in our hand as teens/ adults that had people frowning upon us. The ones we are curious about, but never got to read, worrying about the scandal, if we were caught reading them. In this episode, we speak about Meesha, The Da Vinci Code, Perumal Murugan and others.

Without taking sides, we evaluate the various instances of plagiarism accusations in the literary society. It started as an opportunistic episode, but it slowly morphed into an in-depth conversation on tropes and plots.

We talk about Vaikkom Muhammad Basheer's most irreverent works centered around Anavari Raman Nair, Ponkurishu Thoma, Ettukaali Mammoonju, and others.

We talk about the works of Joseph Annamkutty Jose, Mose Varghese, Arun Arsha, and our very own Krishnakumar Muraleedharan, among other writers.

We speak about the wonderful works of Dr Rajad R, the crime fiction by Lajo Jose and the works of Vipin Das in this episode
