അവതാളങ്ങള്‍ Avathalangal (Discordance of tunes), a collection of short stories by അക്കിത്തം Akkitham.

Akkitham Achyuthan Nambudiri is a highly decorated Malayalam language poet, essayist, editor, and social worker, promoting themes of love and understanding. His website, available in English and Malayalam, looks to be a phenominal resource about the man and his work. What a great effort!

This cover design is just fantastic in my opinion! Love the lettering and playful lines.
