Kathayude Page, magazine on short stories, launched
The Hindu
Writer M. Mukundan releases first issue
From the land of Vengayil Kunhiraman Nayanar, who is considered as the first short story writer in Malayalam, a literary magazine is coming out to herald a new phase in Malayalam fiction.
Titled Kathayude Page, the trimonthly magazine exclusively focuses on short stories and flash fiction. Writer M. Mukundan released the first issue of the magazine recently by handing over a copy to Abin Joseph, a young short story writer who won the Kendra Sahitya Akademi’s Yuva Puraskar for short story this year.
“Short stories are the most pivotal genre in Malayalam literary circle today. Though we have a lot of publications which give space for short stories, none of them discusses the context in which a story sprouts, and Kathayude Page addresses that,” said Mr. Mukundan.
