I just had a peek at the first few pages of the translation; impressive.

"My mother often told me I was slow, stupid. So did elder brother Yudhishtira. The difference was that mother always had a teasing, fond note in her voice when she called me those names, but my brother’s comments seemed to be laced with impatience, contempt even. And each time he called me those names, I felt the anger bubble up inside of me."
The perspective already seems intresting - naivety/childish charm in a way; deeper, emotional undercurrents in another.

From the flim perspective, I'm not sure what to expect. I haven't seen the much-praised Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha. Pazhassi Raja was a let down, to me; terrible, immature filming. Let's see what's served this time around. MD talks aarannu? Raaja saar thanne? Budapest thanne?

On an aside, have there been any attempts at filming any of OV Vijayan's works? I know one or two short films but haven't heard of a feature film yet. Quite a dare that would be to any filmmaker!
