Marxist veteran and trade unionist M.M. Lawrence led a tumultuous life warranting a biography.
Now, it is almost ready and was originally scheduled for release during the forthcoming CPI(M) State meet set to be held in the city from March 1. Though it was a fitting platform, the family of the nonagenarian has confirmed that it is unlikely, as some finishing touches are left. While the title of the work and the publisher are also nearly confirmed, Lawrence’s son Sajeevan M.L. chose to withhold it till a final decision was taken.
The book will be published next month. Incidentally, it is being readied for publication as the 72nd anniversary of the violent Edappally police station attack, in which Mr. Lawrence was an accused, is set to be observed on Monday.
