Malayalam novelist Kakkanadan passes away

Eminent novelist George Vargheese Kakkanaadan, one of the pioneers of modern Malayalam literature, today passed away at a private hospital here, family members said.
Kakkanadan (76) was battling cancer for the past few years. He is survived by wife Ammini, two sons and a daughter.
His works made clean break from the neo-realism that dominated Malayalam literature through the 1950s and 60s.
