". I don’t think there is anybody out there in Tamil Nadu going crazy about my stories exactly!" . A candid interview with the stalwart Tamil fiction writer Ambai, for #citiesinfiction by @divyarrs.
In this #citiesinfiction interview CS Lakshmi (Ambai) tells us about the cities she's lived in, literary journal scene of 70s Tamil Nadu and the novel that inspired her nom de plume. I LOVE her books. Hope with this interview you find her work too.

A story that reminds us to own our lived experiences over the life others may expect us to live. This is a new translation with audio readings of the short story "Dibiya" by @iamudayprakash, deftly translated for us by @attimes_theFool #thebilingualwindow.

is a database of literary landscapes. It will be useful to readers, writers, scholars, researchers, educators, librarians, or anyone interested in knowledge production around Indian and South Asian cities, through fiction. Check this thread by @divyarrs.
Apoorva (@BilingualWindow) and I are excited to share -a database that locates the literary landscape of India and South Asia. This website is for those who are interested in using fiction to teach and learn about the urban - cities, towns, and beyond.

This kind of reading, this kind of spirit. This is why my magazine exists. Embrace literature in ALL the languages you have access to as a reader. Embrace these multiplicities 🌺.
I am reading 'Ret Samadhi' and 'Tomb of Sand' at the same time. Congratulations @shreedaisy , #GeetanjaliShree

After her novellas, Daura and Bhaunri, bilingual writer @anukrti_U delights the reader once again with her twin stories, this time two antiromance tales 'Habeas Corpus' and 'Ab Initio'. Head to @BilingualWindow and @bombaylitmag to read.

Hope this moment proves to be the game changer, for translations to and from Indian languages, as everyone is hoping it to be.
Yessss! Translator Daisy Rockwell and author Geetanjali Shree win the International Booker for 'Tomb of Sand' ('Ret Samadhi' in the original). A first win for a Hindi novel, an Indian novel, a south Asian novel. Congratulations! @TheBookerPrizes.
