Foreword
K. Pottekkat (1913-82), the Jnanpith-winning fictionist his generation whose works embody a steady and consistent evolution. In this, he is different from the common run of writers in most languages who generally belong to one of two categories: one, the class of writers who, in a meteoric rise, demonstrate a flash of creativity early in their careers, produce an outstanding first work and then survive on the basis of that, and two, those who enter the world of writing with an unexceptional first work and then repeat themselves in work after work without any commendable evolution. Pottekkat is different from both these categories in that he represents, in terms of sensibility, a steady growth in his career as a writer, the fruits of which have been put to good use by the fictional tradition in Malayalam continuing from him. He presents the image of a romantic artist in his early writings, and acquires a strong streak of the chronicler of the age as he moves from early literary pieces to his later writings. As a writer of travelogues, he is perhaps a pioneering figure who has laid the foundation for this distinctly modern genre of writing in any Indian language. More importantly, in a metaphorical sense, the idea of travel with the accompanying suggestions of mobility and a concern for the other can be extended to his writing practice in general.
