Hats off : Litterateur Redefining World

Litterateur Redefining World is an online publication which started its operation in August 2020 with K M Anthru as its Managing Editor.The inspiration behind this was K M Anthru. He was born on April 2, 1937. He started his literary career at 17. Though publications were a few during that time, his works found space in many of the periodicals and magazines. He started publishing books, mainly Malayalam Short stories and literary essays, from 2000. Since then, he published about eight books. During his long career in literature, he published a countless number of works in various print magazines. While he was very active in literature during his old age, he suddenly became sick and bedridden in 2017. He had an unfulfilled dream of becoming an editor of a magazine. The thought of Litterateur Redefining World arose to fulfil this dream. Sad to add, he passed away on 19 December 2020. He was the man who loved literature, lived through it and died for it.But the magazine he started acclaimed a notable position in the World literature in a brief span. In memoriam and, as a mark of the respect towards him, we instituted K M Anthru International Literature Prize in 2021. This is the second year we honor the great masters of literature and Arts who dedicated their life to literature in various ways.
