Magnificent and massive, Shree's "simple" story is more an exploration on gender, aging, cultural mores, history and politics, feminism, and probably a thousand other topics. Truly a slow-paced and magical page-turner!

I'm #NowReading Tomb of Sand by #GeetanjaliShree and had to stop to google a bunch of names/titles of Partition authors. Now I have books from #KrishnaSobti and #Manto on the way. That's how #TranslatedFiction gets ya! #bookstodon #LiteratureInTranslation

Got a few book pre-orders in so I can forget about them and be surprised when they arrive. Usually most of my pre-orders are of fave authors, but these are all new to me. Any other #bookstodon folks have these on their list? Have other pre-order recommendations?

Tomb of Sand by #GeetanjaliShree, trans. by Daisy Rockwell (Jan 31) - feminist epic

Flux by #JinwooChong (Mar 21) - neo-noir/speculative fiction

The End of August by #YuMiri, trans. by Morgan Giles (Aug 1) - historical fiction/epic

Fascinating #excerpt from a #talk given by #Booker prize winning #writer #GeetanjaliShree

What is the #dialectic between an #author or a #poet and the #society she is a part of? Do they owe anything to each other?

What exactly is literature? #Literature serves no utilitarian purpose, unlike #science or #technology or #medicine. Should society support it? Why?
