The is widely available on major digital platforms, usually narrated in its original Malayalam to preserve the lyrical beauty of Vijayan's prose.

To understand the significance of the audiobook, one must first grapple with the text itself. Vijayan’s language was unique—a blend of the lyrical and the stark, the mundane and the metaphysical.
