Yashwant Vithoba Chittal (3 August 1928 – 22 March 2014) was a Kannada fiction writer.[2]
He was born in Hanehalli, Uttar Kannada District.[3] He completed his primary school education from his village school and his high school from the Gibbs High School, Kumta (1944). Although known for his many novels and short stories, Chittal has also authored literary criticism and essays. His early writing shows the influence of his brother Gangadhar V. Chittal, a poet. His writings, including The girl who became a story, either depict the culture of his village Hanehalli in the Uttar Kannada District or the surroundings of Bandra in Mumbai.[citation needed] His later novels, portraying the themes of urban reality and related complexities of modern Indian life, show the influence of the Radical Humanist M.N. Roy and Eric Fromm.[citation needed] His subjects have always been drawn from contemporary socio-political realities.
G. S. Amur said: "His short stories, many of them were outstanding, and came with his distinct touch.The kind of experimentation he did with language, style and narrative is unparalleled."[4]
