The most popular novel by writer-cartoonist-journalist O V Vijayan. This modern classic in Malayalam is said to be the masterpiece of Vijayan. Khasakkinte Ithihasam has won him many recognitions, including Muttath Varkey Award in 1992.

It is crafted in the form of the spiritual journey of an under-graduate dropout, Ravi, plagued by the guilt of an illicit affair he had with his stepmother. Ravi abandons a bright academic career and a research offer from Princeton University. He deserts his lover Padma and leaves on a long pilgrimage, which finally brings him to the small hamlet of Khasak.
