Ayussinte Pusthakam (The Book of Passing Shadows)โ€ป

Main article: Ayussinte Pusthakam

Ayussinte Pusthakam is considered one of the "major works in the post-modernist Malayalam literature." Balakrishnan began writing this novel when he moved to Calcutta in late-1970s. An old edition of the Bible at St. Paul's Cathedral in Calcutta triggered the book in him. It took him three years to complete the novel. Says the author: "All the characters and villages of Christian settlers were in my mind long before I began thinking about writing Ayussinte Pusthakam. The characters are based on people I met during my course as a school teacher in a village in Kasaragod. I wrote Ayussinte Pusthakam at a time when I was going through an emotionally difficult period; my relation with my father was strained and I was feeling very lonely. Ayussinte Pusthakam is about loneliness." The book is also about sin and sadness, written in a style and language that have been judiciously borrowed from The Bible." The novel was successfully adapted for the stage by, suveeran in 2008. It won many Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi Awards including one for the best play.
