Priya A. S. is an Indian writer of Malayalam literature. She writes short stories, children's literature, translations and memoirs.[1] She has translated Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things into Malayalam under the title Kunju Karyangalude Odeythampuran of which Roy herself has said that although there have been translations in several languages, no other translation is as important to her as this, as it is the language of the novel's central characters.[2] She is a three-time recipient of the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award.
