Life

Subsequently, He became a teacher in colleges under SN Trust.[1] and retired from service as the principal of Sree Narayana Guru College, Chelannoor in 2018.[3]

Literary career

Sudheesh started writing at a very young age and his early works were published in the children's column of Mathrubhumi Weekly and later in Chandrika Weekly and Deshabhimani Weekly. He also published an inland magazine called Layam. While he was a student of Madappally College, he won the prize in short story competition at the Calicut University Arts Festival. Sudheesh's early stories were published when Malayalam short stories were undergoing a transformation in form and content. He was one of the proponents of this transformation and is regarded by many as an important writer in postmodern Malayalam literature.[4] His stories are part of curriculum in schools and universities in Kerala. Kroora Phalithakkaran Daivam, Daivathinu Oru Poovu, Vamshananthara Thalamura, Cholamarappathakal, Vimathalaingikam, Oru Ezhuthukari Ariyunnu, Vakkukal Sangeethamakunna Kaalam Varunnundu, Rajavinte Meenukal and Sankadamaram are some of his notable works.[5]

Sudheesh received the Kerala State Television Award for screenplay in 2005.[3] His short story anthology, Bhavana Bhedanam fetched him the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Story in 2014.[6] Three years later, he received the 2017 Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Children's Literature for his work, Kurukkan Mashinte School[7] and in 2020, he was awarded the Thoppil Ravi Award for the work, Kadukkachi Manga.[5] He is also a recipient of C.
