In Malayalam, Rajeevan published two novels (Paleri Manikyam: Oru Pathirakolapathakathinte Katha, and KTN Kottoor: Ezhuthum Jeevithavum); six poetry collections (Vathil, Rashtratamtram, Korithachanal, Vayalkkarayil Ippolillatha, Pranayasatakam, and Dheergakalam); a travelogue (Purappettu Poya Vakku); and an essay collection (Athe Akasam Athe Bhoomi.[3][4]
Both of his novels in Malayalam were made into films.[citation needed]
Rajeevan wrote Paleri Manikyam first in English when residing in Iowa, United States, in 2009. He translated it into Malayalam after coming back to Kerala. However, the English version, titled Undying Echoes of Silence, only appeared in August 2013.[5][6]
In English, he published Undying Echoes of Silence and two poetry collections (Kannaki and He Who Was Gone Thus).[citation needed]
Rajeevan also edited an anthology of poems (Third Word: Post Socialist Poetry) with Croatian poet, Lana Derkac.[citation needed]
Reviews
Rajeevan received praise from Sashi Tharoor who wrote in The Hindu: "That the University of Calicut harbours such talent in its midst is itself a priceless public relations asset of which I hope the University's administrators are proud."[7]
Regarding He Who Was Gone Thus, Anita Nair stated in the Hindu that it would dazzle even a reader who skims through it.[8]
Awards and fellowships
Rajeevan received the V. T. Kumaran Award in 1988.[9] In 2008, he received a Ledig House International Writers Residency. He was the second recipient from Kerala, and the eighth from India.[10] Rajeevan was awarded the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for his novel KTN Kottor: Ezhuthum Jeevithavum, in 2014.[11]
