Vinod Kumar Shukla (born 1 January 1937) is a modern Hindi writer known for his surreal style that often borders on magic-realism and sometimes move beyond it. His works include the novels Naukar ki Kameez and Deewar Mein Ek Khirkee Rahati Thi (A Window lived in a Wall), which won the Sahitya Akademi Award for the best Hindi work in 1999.

His first collection of poems Lagbhag Jai Hind was published in 1971. Vah Aadmi Chala Gaya Naya Garam Coat Pehankar Vichar Ki Tarah was his second collection of poems, published in 1981 by Sambhavna Prakashan. Naukar Ki Kameez (The Servant's Shirt) was his first novel, brought out in 1979 by the same publisher. Per Par Kamra (Room on the Tree), a collection of short stories, was brought out in 1988, and another collection of poems in 1992, Sab Kuch Hona Bacha Rahega.

Vinod Kumar Shukla was a guest littérateur at the Nirala Srijanpeeth in AGRA from 1994 to 1996 during which he wrote two novels Khilega To Dekhenge and the refreshing Deewar Mein Ek Khirkee Rahati Thi. The latter has been translated into English by Prof. Satti Khanna of Duke University as A Window Lived in a Wall.

बहुत ही अच्छा संकलन है. मैंने "सब कुछ होना बचा रहेगा" संग्रह पढ़ा है, जिसकी कुछ कविताएँ इस संकलन में भी है. पुनः पढ़कर उनकी गहराई समझी. शुक्ल जी की कविताएँ बार-बार पढ़ने के लिए हैं, एकल पाठ के लिए नहीं.
अरविन्द त्रिपाठी जी ने "विनोद कुमार शुक्ल का आश्चर्यलोक" नाम से जो अभिमुख लिखा है, वह पठनीय है, विशेषतः शुक्ल जी के नूतन पाठकों के लिए.

Hard to understand one go ! Have to be read many times again to understand the essence but the poems are full of hope, despair, anger, frustration. Some are gems like deewar me ek khidki rehti thi, jungal ke ujaad me, ateet ka smaran,jeene ki aadat kitna bahut hai and hathasa se ek vyakti baith gaya tha !!

जादू, विस्मय, नर्माहट, दुःख, उम्मीद, संघर्ष और ढेर सारा जीवन

[Harsh Vardhan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Few poems are out of the world, he really pushes your imaginative boundary to narrate his story in his beautiful words.

[Anveshak · Rating 3 out of 5]

To understand these poems have to read them few more times. Quite unique.

विनोद कुमार शुक्ल को पढ़ते हुए ऐसा लगता है जैसे आपने किसी पेंटर का कैनवस और पेंटब्रश छीन लिए है और उसे कागज और कलम पकड़ा दिए है, जिस से वह तस्वीर बनाता तो है, लेकिन शब्दों में।
