| Notes | Synopsis: After the Hanging and Other Stories / O. V. Vijayan. === After the Hanging and Other Stories is known as O. V. Vijayan`s best-known collection in English. In this collection there are several jewel-like masterpieces, in particular the title story about a poor, semi-literate peasant going to the jail to receive the body of his son who has been hanged. `The Wart` and `The Foetus` is all about the trauma of the fascist Emergency; the transcendental `The Airport`, `The Little Ones`, and several others. This collection is very famous for its extraordinarily lyrical language. The author is equally conversant with English and Malayalam. He did all his translation and sometimes these are even better than the originals. |
