@jeetthayil : "AK Ramanujan-- to my mind the greatest Indian poet of the 20thC, not Tagore- was once asked if he was Indian or Indian-American. He replied, 'I locate myself in the hyphen.'" Talking to Pico Iyer on The Empire Strikes Back @ZEEJLF

Decades ago, Kannada writer Vivek Shanbhag read a story by Malayalam writer Vaikom Muhammad Basheer in English translation. “My mind instinctively filled the gaps and created a meaningful literary experience.” Hyphen, a new literary journal founded and published by Shanbhag, is driven by the belief that it is both possible and necessary to make such encounters available to a much wider readership.

A New Journal on Translation Brings a Wide Range of Indian Languages to a New Readership
'Hyphen' is handsomely produced and illustrated, with a design that gives the contents the heft of a literary journal, writes @SanSip.
