Ki. Rajanarayanan ((タミル語:கி. ராஜநாராயணன்)), popularly known by Tamil initials as Ki. Ra., is a Tamil folklorist and author from India.
==Writing career==
Ki. Ra.'s first published short story was ''Mayamaan'' (lit. The Magical Deer), which came out in 1958. It was an immediate success. It was followed by many more short stories. Ki Ra's stories are usually based in ''karisal kaadu'' (scorched, drought stricken land around Kovilpatti ). He centres his stories around ''Karisal'' country's people, their lives, beliefs, struggles and folklore. The novels ''Gopalla Grammam'' (lit. Gopalla Village) and its sequel ''Gopallapurathu Makkal'' (lit. The People of ''Gopallapuram'') are among his most acclaimed; he won the Sahitya Akademi award for the latter in 1991.〔 〕 As a folklorist, Ki. Ra. spent decades collecting folktales from the ''karisal kaadu'' and publishing them in popular magazines. In 2007, the Thanjavur based publishing house Annam compiled these folktales into a 944-page book, the ''Nattuppura Kadhai Kalanjiyam'' (Collection of Country Tales). As of 2009, he has published around 30 books. A selection of these were translated into English by Pritham K. Chakravarthy and published in 2009 as ''Where Are You Going, You Monkeys? – Folktales from Tamil Nadu''. Ki. Ra. is well known for his candid treatment of sexual topics, and use of the spoken dialect of Tamil language for his stories (rather than its formal written form). In 2003, his short story ''kidai'' was made into a Tamil film titled Oruththi. It was screened in the International Film Festival of India.
