[Reader-list] The Golden Gandhi Statue from America

[V Ramaswamy]

Dear Friends

A few years ago I had posted a message about having taken up translating the
short fiction of the Bengali anti-establishment writer, Subimal Misra.

A collection of stories by Subimal Misra - written in the late 60s and early
70s - translated by me is being published by HarperCollins India, and is due
for release soon.

The book is titled: The Golden Gandhi Statue from America: Early Stories

>From the back cover:

"In translating Misra, Ramaswamy has given a significant writer, as well as
an extraordinary phase in Bengali literature, a new lease of life ...
metculously crafted and fluid." - Amit Chaudhuri

'Misra is one of the unsung heroes of contemporary Indian fiction and
finally here is translation that matches the master's raw, searing prose and
catches beautifully the black humour and modern cruelty of the original." -
Ruchir Joshi

Thank you for your attention.

Best regards
