sadly, MN Vijayan destroyed his genius by associating himself with party propagandists of the CPM who used his name to the hilt and dumped him.
Vijayan's crusade in his last days to redeem the party from parasites thriving on foreign funding failed to cut ice. Fund by any means is the motto of that party now.
If Vijayan had taken literary scene seriously, Malyalam would have got some of the best books authored by him. His life is a saga of betrayal and victimisation by a domineering communist apparatus and also about the danger of falling victim to propaganda czarists, while ignoring the omnipresence of art and literature and its ultimate trimuph over petty political ambitions.
