What a marvellous review of our #YodaPress title The Grave Exhumers and Other Stories by Lutfor Rahaman, deftly translated by Mursed Alam. Have you read the book yet? "With these six stories, both the author and the translator take us on a journey across borders and beyond the usual Bengali translations that we’ve engaged with. By retaining the visual finesse of the source text, Alam manages to translate the voices on the margins that Rahaman first put in the spotlight." scroll.in/article/1093834/th…

‘The Grave Exhumers and Other Stories’: A close-up of Muslim lives outside Kolkata’s urban premises

The six stories by Lutfor Rahaman have been translated from the Bengali by Mursed Alam.

Dive into a deeply engaging and thought-provoking conversation on feminism, tradition, and literature. In this session, Meena Kandaswamy explores how feminist discourse is often framed through Western lenses and why it is vital to trace history from our own roots—drawing insights from classical texts like the Thirukkural and the Silappadhikaram. The discussion tackles the complex intersections of women's rage, representation, societal expectations, and the ongoing struggle for true equality. Watch to explore how challenging patriarchal frameworks and breaking centuries of silence requires more than just comfort—it demands authentic, unfiltered dialogue. @adityabirlagrp @PrabhuChawla @NehaSonthaliaP1 @santwana99 @NewIndianXpress @Eventxpress @XpressOdisha @meenakandasamy #OdishaLitFestival2026 #14YearsOfOLF #ResurgenceOfTheWord #StoriesOfOurTime #OLF2026 🔗youtu.be/RfMcOnTDlew?si=5kTz…

Calling both general interest audiences and literary translators at any stage of their career. Practice the art of the pause, the embodied reading of a text, and how to translate with just the right touch. A four-day intensive going deep into the craft of translation.
