Happy to find this lovely writeup about my translation of five Indira Goswami novellas — Five Novellas about Women by Indira Goswami — in PurplePencilProject. Thank you, Kirtana Menon for the succinct introduction, and thank you Niyogi Books for publishing the book. It took nearly five years to get the book out (two years of translation and three years of finding a publisher). I guess it’s time I picked up my next translation project. But I am not sure — I want to translate the popular love story of a novel, Anuradhar Dexh (অনুৰাধাৰ দেশ) by Phanindra Kumar Dev Choudhury — but not sure if publishers would be keen on a “romance novel” from Assam. Instead, somebody give me a commission, please!
