Bheemachan: The Aesthetics of Narration

Abstract

Stories are a primal mode of expression of human experiences. The diverse transitions and emotional realms of human beings as social creatures are encapsulated in stories, opening up both personal and social realms of meaning simultaneously. This paper presents a study of Bheemachan, a short story by N. S. Madhavan, who introduced postmodern sensibilities into Malayalam literature. The study explores the depths of aesthetic experience in the narration of this story.
