Kundalatha (or Kundalata, Malayalam: കുന്ദലത) is a novel by Appu Nedungadi, published in 1887. It is considered to be the first Malayalam novel.
His 1889 work, Indulekha, was the first Malayalam fictional work which met with all the requisite characteristics of a novel according to widely accepted Malayalam literary convention. [7] It is not the first novel per se, as Kundalatha (a much inferior work) by Appu Nedungadi pre-dates it by two years.
Appu Nedungadi (11 October 1863 – 6 November 1933) was an Indian writer and banker best known as the author of Kundalatha, which was published in 1887, making it the first novel published in the Malayalam language. He was associated with several literary publications including Kerala Pathrika, Kerala Sanchari and Vidya Vinodini. [3]
Though Kundalatha is not considered a major novel, it gets the pride of place as the first work in the language having the basic characteristics of a novel. O. Chandhu Menon's Indulekha was the first major novel in Malayalam language. It was a landmark in the history of Malayalam literature and initiated the novel as a new flourishing genre. [76]
