Geetanjali Shree's Our City That Year, translated by Daisy Rockwell (Penguin India, August 2024), is a tale of a city under siege, reflecting a society that lies fractured along fault lines of faith and ideology. First published in 1998, Our City That Year is loosely based on the communal riots and violence in the lead-up to the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya in 1992 and its aftermath of rising uncertainty and dread. Twenty-six years after its original Hindi publication, the book's call to bear witness to India under the grips of religious nationalism is timelier than ever, speaking to the growing communal divisions in India and across the Subcontinent. Geetanjali Shree is the winner of the 2022 International Booker Prize, and of the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation, for her novel, Tomb of Sand (Ret Samadhi in the Hindi original). The novel was also shortlisted for the Emile Guimet Prize. She has written four other novels, Mai (Mai: Silently Mother), Hamara Shahar Us Baras (Our City That Year), Tirohit (The Roof Beneath Their Feet), and Khali Jagah (Empty Space), and five collections of short stories. She writes essays and gives talks in both Hindi and English. Her work is translated into many Indian and foreign languages. Geetanjali has also worked on theatre scripts in collaboration with a Delhi based group, Vivadi, of which she is a founding member. Daisy Rockwell is a painter and award-winning translator of Hindi and Urdu literature, living in Vermont. She has published numerous translations from Hindi and Urdu, including Ashk's Falling Walls (2015), Bhisham Sahni's Tamas (2016), and Khadija Mastur's The Women's Courtyard. Her translation of Krishna Sobti's final novel, A Gujarat here, a Gujarat there (Penguin, 2019) was awarded the Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for a Translation of a Literary Work in 2019. Her translation of Geetanjali Shree's Tomb of Sand (Tilted Axis Press, 2021; HarperVia, 2022) won the 2022 International Booker Prize and the 2022 Warwick Prize for Women in Translation.

Lauréate de l'International Booker Prize 2022 et du prix de Warwick pour les femmes en traduction pour son roman Ret samadhi (éditions des femmes-Antoinette Fouque, 2020, 2023), Geetanjali Shree se fait connaître par sa langue et sa structure littéraire innovantes. Ses œuvres ont été traduites en de nombreuses langues, notamment l'anglais et le français. Traduit du hindi par Annie Montaut.Une mère, fidèle aux traditions, vue par sa fille en quête d'émancipation et de modernité."La discrète Maï est dévouée à son mari volage, à ses beaux-parents au caractère difficile et autoritaire, ainsi qu'à ses enfants. Mais qui se cache donc derrière ce voile qui révolte tant sa fille Sounaina ? À travers ses yeux perspicaces, on découvre le quotidien de cette famille indienne et la toile d'images et d'événements centrée autour de Maï. Malgré les encouragements de Sounaina à s'opposer aux injonctions absurdes de l'ancienne génération, Maï, comme tant d'autres femmes effacées par l'autorité patriarcale, choisit de se sacrifier pour le bonheur familial et le respect des traditions. C'est dans le silence de Maï que se dévoile l'éloquence du faible, et dans son incommensurable vulnérabilité, sa force infinie." (Présentation des éditions des Femmes)

Emanzipation auf IndischDer bereits vor 30 Jahren geschriebene Generationenroman „Mai“ der indischen Autorin Geetanjali Shree zeigt den schwierigen Umgang mit dem kolonialen Erbe (Hördauer 14 Minuten) Das Verhältnis der Generationen zueinander ist meist kein einfaches. Vor besondere Herausforderungen wird es gestellt, wenn eine traditionelle Segmentierung der Gesellschaft die Geschlechter oder gesellschaftliche Gruppen strikt voneinander abgrenzt. Ein Wandlungsprozess ist in der indischen Gesellschaft mit der Unabhängigkeit von der Kolonialmacht England 1947 angestoßen worden und auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen noch lange nicht abgeschlossen. Die indische Autorin Geetanjali Shree zeichnet die Auswirkung dieses Prozesses in ihrem bereits vor 30 Jahren erschienen Debütroman Mai nach. Die Autorin geht in ihrem Werk einen anderen Weg als viele ihrer indischen Kolleginnen und Kollegen, die aufgrund der vielen in Indien gesprochenen Sprachen auf Englisch schreiben, um ein großes Publikum zu erreichen. Im Gegensatz dazu veröffentlicht Shree in ihrer Muttersprache Hindi, die ihr eine adäquatere Ausdrucksweise bietet. Seit ihr letzter Roman Tomb of Sand (Originaltitel: Ret Samadhi) mit dem International Booker Prize 2022 für den besten ins Englische übersetzten fiktiven Text Aufmerksamkeit erlangt hat, ist die Autorin ins Blickfeld der westlichen literarischen Welt gerückt. Zwar ist der ausgezeichnete Roman noch nicht auf Deutsch erhältlich, allerdings hat der Unionsverlag den 2010 von Reinhold Schein aus dem Hindi ins Deutsche übersetzten Roman Mai nun neu aufgelegt. …“ Eine Rezension von Miriam Seidler, den Text der Rezension finden Sie hier Sprecher Matthias Pöhlmann  Schnitt Jupp Stepprath, Realisation Uwe Kullnick Hat Ihnen diese Rezension gefallen, mögen Sie vielleicht auch diese Sendung Kommen Sie doch einmal in unsere Live-Aufzeichnungen in München --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hoerbahn/message

Amrita Ghosh and Bhakti Shringarpure discuss the supremacy of the English language in South Asia. While there is immense pride in mother tongues and local languages, it is hard to imagine career and business success, literary and cultural currency, and social mobility without fluency in English. Can our polyglot subcontinent ever shake off this colonial domination over our minds and lives? Guest Daisy Rockwell won the International Booker Prize in 2022 for her translation of Hindi writer Geetanjali Shree's novel Tomb of Sand into English. This prestigious award spurred debates about the ways in which it was English, after all, that finally allowed for the recognition of Hindi literature internationally. She weighs in on some of the changes that might be afoot when it comes to the politics of languages.

Spooky season is upon us.

In northern India, an eighty-year-old woman slips into a deep depression after the death of her husband, and then resurfaces to gain a new lease on life. Her determination to fly in the face of convention – including striking up a friendship with a transgender person – confuses her bohemian daughter, who is used to thinking of herself as the more ‘modern' of the two. To her family's consternation, Ma insists on travelling to Pakistan, simultaneously confronting the unresolved trauma of her teenage experiences of Partition, and re-evaluating what it means to be a mother, a daughter, a woman, a feminist. Rather than respond to tragedy with seriousness, Geetanjali Shree's playful tone and exuberant wordplay results in a book that is engaging, funny, and utterly original, at the same time as being an urgent and timely protest against the destructive impact of borders and boundaries, whether between religions, countries, or genders. This episode of BIC Talks is adapted from a conversation between Geetanjali Shree, Anukrti Upadhyay and Arunava Sinha about Geetanjali's International Booker winning novel, that was part of the Bangalore Literature Festival 2022.

Recently Indian author, Geetanjali Shree's book Tomb Of Sand, won the Rest Of The World version of the Booker Prize.In literary circles—as indeed with other circles—awards and prizes always set off ripples of envy and carping. The cynical argument is that prizes are geared to triggering interest in markets—in this case, I presume, to sell more books. I haven't done a deep dive into this but it makes for great coffee shop mulch.So, whether by honest practice or by greasy marketing, a Booker win means much to the industry and in the case of Tomb Of Sand I dare say, it will trigger the gold rush of translations.So are translations the next big thing?My guest today, Kalyan Raman is no translation newbie. He has translated the works of some of the best known writers from Tamil into English. I have known him for many years. He is a scientist with a literary side. He worked in the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) as a satellite communications engineer.His first substantive published translation of a book was one of short stories by the famous late Tamil modernist author, Ashokamitran.I remember meeting Kalyan in Koshy's Cafe in Bangalore the day that book was released. I walked over to a bookstore nearby and bought it. And I was introduced to the wonderful world of translated texts.Translations are not something to be discussed blithely. There is so much that translators must know before they can translate. They must know the language, the history of the author, indeed the mind of the author, the subject. And then the translation itself must stay faithful to the rhythm, cadence and comportment of the text.And importantly, stay faithful to the author. The translator must not conclude that the author's prose could use a little improvement.I've held Kalyan in very high estimation all these years and I am fortunate to have him here as my guest today. Today we ask him all about translations.ABOUT KALYAN RAMANA graduate of IIT Madras and IIM Kolkata, N Kalyan Raman worked in telecommunications for over three decades. His career as a translator of contemporary Tamil fiction and poetry began in the early 90s. He has published fifteen works of Tamil fiction in translation, including those by major authors like Ashokamitran, Poomani, Perumal Murugan, Devibharathi, Salma and Vaasanthi. His translation of Tamil poetry has been published widely in important journals and anthologies in India and abroad. Breaking Free, his translation of a Tamil novel by Vaasanthi, was published in June this year by HarperCollins India. His translation of Perumal Murugan's Poonachi: The Story of a Black Goat was shortlisted for the inaugural JCB Prize in 2018. Its US edition, The Story of a Goat was nominated for the National Book Foundation Award 2020 for Translated Literature. In 2018, he was given the prestigious Pudumaipithan Memorial Award for his contribution to the cause of Tamil literature through his translations. He lives and works in Chennai.Buy Breaking Free here: https://amzn.to/3yx288EWHAT'S THAT WORD?!Co-host Pranati "Pea" Madhav joins Ramjee Chandran in the segment "What's That Word?", where they discuss the business of translations and the phrase "champing at the bit".WANT TO BE ON THE SHOW?Reach us by mail: theliterarycity@explocity.com or simply, tlc@explocity.com.Or here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theliterarycity.Or here:  https://www.instagram.com/explocityblr/.

Our guest on The Wire Talks is Ashok Vajpeyi, a Hindi-language poet, essayist,, who published over 20 books of poetries. A Sahitya Akademi Award winner; he was the former chairman of Lalit Kala Akademi India's National Academy of Arts, Ministry of Culture, Govt of India, 2008–2011. In this episode of The Wire Talks in conversation with our host Sidharth Bhatia, he spoke the Hindi language, and the challenges and victories of this language. He says, “Hindi is one of the most hospitable languages.” When asked if there is a readership when popular South Indian languages are translated into Hindi, he claims the readership in Hindi is limited. The Hindi literary world's reaction to Geetanjali Shree's victory, he mentions it was welcoming, but the negative reviews did exist. In addition to it, he shared about the challenges faced by beyond the borders created novel in the country, as government creates unavoidable hurdles. He speaks about being in favour of the Education Minister who recently gave a statement that there is no national language in India, which is a pluralist country. He feels the government should give equal opportunity to the regional languages as it gives to English. He added, “Language is more ancient than state,” says Ashok Vajpeyi.

In our interview, he talks about this year's winners, Geetanjali Shree and Daisy Rockwell with "Tomb of Sand", the deliberations of the judges, the special character of the Booker, and how it feels to be a Booker nominee vs. being a judge.

In dieser Folge mit Anika, Robin und Meike: „Tomb of Sand“ von Geetanjali Shree, „Nach der Sonne“ von Jonas Eika, „Cursed Bunny“ von Bora Chung, „Die Entflohene“ von Violaine Huisman, „Love in the Big City“ von Sang Young Park, „Elena weiß Bescheid“ von Claudia Piñeiro, „Phenotypes“ von Paulo Scott und „A New Name: Septology VI-VII“ von Jon Fosse. Der International Booker Prize 2022 wurde vergeben: Wir gratulieren Autorin Geetanjali Shree und Übersetzerin Daisy Rockwell zum Sieg für „Tomb of Sand“!

Geetanjali Shree has the distinction of being the first ever Indian author to win the International Booker for her Hindi work 'Ret Samadhi' which was translated as Tomb of Sand in English. Listen to this 'almost' 10-year old's perspective on what books mean to children, and what books written in non-English languages also mean to them.Follow us on Twitter hereFollow us on Instagram hereIf you have any thoughts or comments, please share them as an audio file via email to hello@wsnt.in

Police in Texas have revised key details about Tuesday's deadly school shooting as criticism mounts from parents over the initial response. The gunman roamed outside the Uvalde school for 12 minutes before entering unchallenged, police said on Thursday. That contradicted earlier statements which said the attacker had been confronted and shot at by an officer. We hear from a former Texas police chief. Also on the programme, Russia appears to be making slow but significant progress in its war against Ukraine. And for the first time, the International Booker Prize has been awarded to a novel in Hindi. Geetanjali Shree and Daisy Rockwell talk about their novel Tomb Of Sand.

Listen to the latest SBS Hindi report from India. 27/05/2022

Listen to an exclusive interview with The International Booker Prize winner Geetanjali Shree. Her Hindi novel ‘Ret Samadhi' (Tomb of Sand) is the first book originally written in any Indian language to win the International Booker Prize, and the first novel translated from Hindi to be recognised by the award.In conversation with broadcaster Achala Sharma, recorded on the eve of Booker announcement in London, Geetanjali Shree discusses the process of writing her award winning novel, working along with her translator, Daisy Rockwell, her life and work in this 24th episode of Cine Ink Podcast Series ‘Kitaab Kaulum'. ‘Ret Samadhi' has been published by Rajkamal Prakashan, New Delhi, and translated in English by Daisy Rockwell under the title 'Tomb of Sand' published by Tilted Axis Press UK. Set in northern India, Tomb of Sand follows the adventures of an 80-year-old woman who unexpectedly gains a new, and highly unconventional, lease of life. The result is a book that is engaging, funny and utterly original, at the same time as being an urgent and timely protest against the destructive impact of borders and boundaries - whether between religions, countries or genders.
