"A Guide to Field and Wood [...] is an attempt to write a universal literature, a creation of a new legend, one where our absolute knowledge counts for nothing, where our origin is told through new objects, relations and permutations. There are no names in the text, no defined places, everything comes across to us as the narrator progresses, nothing is a given. Further, against the tendency to acclimatise nature to ourselves, his Herculean task is to acculturate himself to the natural, both human and non-human."

Shaiq Ali reviews A Guide to Field and Wood by Robert Wood in The Sunflower Collective.

Thank you, Abhimanyu Kumar, helping spread the word.

Excited to be a part of this inspiring community of South Asian Literature — Desi Books — hosted by Jenny Bhat, where I answer some questions about my translation of Indira Goswami’s novellas, and a couple of other things as well. Have a dekko!
