Thikkodiyan

Thikkodiyan

P. Kunhananandan Nair, better known by his penname Thikodiyan (Malayalam: തിക്കോടിയന്‍) (1916 – January 28, 2001) was a well known Malayalam author. He was born in Thikkodi, a small village in Kozhikode district, in the Indian state of Kerala. He was a multi-faceted personality.

Thikodiyan has written a number of plays, novels, screenplays, and lyrics.[1] In his autobiography Arangu Kaanatha Nadan (The actor who had never been on stage), Thikodiyan portrayed the Malabar's social and cultural development in the post independent period and captured the charm of Kozhikode. This work won him the Kendra Sahithya Academy Award (Malayalam) in 1995[2] and Vayalar Ramavarma Award in the same year.[3]
