Koonan Thoppu is a novel written by Sahitya Akademi awarded writer Thoppil Muhammed Meeran. First published in 1993, the novel has impacted numerous readers over the years. Meeran writes with extreme nuance about a world he knew by experience. Standing opposite to the realm of imagination, Meeran still took Tamil literature to a novel terrain. Filled with as many thorns as flowers, he created a new school of progressive literature, that invited readers to re-examine themselves.

Anjuvannam Theru is a novel by acclaimed Tamil writer Thoppil Mohammed Meeran. It is a classic, where the author is intimate enough to the events, but still stays away at a safe distance as a storyteller. It has characters closer to real life, stuck between the orthodoxy and modernity of religious ideas. The tragedy is that they have no say over which way their life flows. They just run along with it, stabbed to death and are dragged to sky and heaven.

Meeran's Stories give us a glimpse, at once, of the inner life of two entities, two identities. First, of South India. Second of Muslim South India. They are about a particular people but more, they are about people. They are about a particular place but more, about the place of feeling in the desert of custom.
