Today we are talking to Iswarya who translated Tamil Writer Jeyamohan's short story collection - 'One Million Footsteps' into English.In One Million Footsteps, We meet Ousepachan, a jaded, maverick ex-police officer with razor-sharp wit. He turns his gaze inward, dwelling on the complex minds that commit crimes. We trace transgressions back to raw human drives: love, desire, ego, and power.The Story Collection is layered with history and myth, challenging us to confront deeper truths. To understand the depth here, we must look at the man behind the prose. B. Jeyamohan is a pre-eminent force in modern Tamil literature. His career spans over three hundred short stories and landmark novels. He is a vital voice bridging heritage and contemporary Indian narrative. He has been recognized with the Akilan, Katha, and Sanskriti Samman awards.Bringing this world to life is the translator V. Iswarya.

Welcome to Harshaneeyam Podcast. Today I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Vashalice Kaaba, a brilliant scholar, librarian, grant writer, and the Executive Director of the Global Literature in Libraries Initiative. With a Ph.D. from Florida State University and a career helping social impact organizations secure more than $10 million in funding, her work beautifully blends literacy, cultural access, and community transformation.In this episode, Dr. Kaaba shares the deeply personal roots of her career, starting with her grandmother who grew up in the segregated American South and used the Bible, newspapers, and hand-me-down books to turn her into a phenomenal reader. She also reflects on her childhood library trips where she first noticed a painful lack of books representing people of color, a formative experience that now drives her lifelong research into Black youth literature and equitable representation.The heart of our conversation focuses on her groundbreaking initiative called Library in a Box, which is a portable, scalable solution designed to spread literacy without the need for traditional brick-and-mortar walls. Inspired by her experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer in Uganda and a Fulbright Scholar in Kenya, Dr. Kaaba designed this project to overcome steep barriers like a lack of infrastructure, funding, and resources. The box itself features an e-reader, a terabyte drive pre-loaded with thousands of digital books, and a specialized manual meant to guide everyday individuals on how to run a grassroots library right in their communities without needing a formal university degree.We also discuss how this incredible project empowers communities to maintain absolute autonomy over their own education, allowing them to circumvent political book bans and censorship by keeping diverse, inclusive literature accessible outside the traditional library ecosystem. It is an inspiring look at how a simple, innovative idea can turn access to stories into a revolutionary act of love and joy.

My guest for today is Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma — an American writer, poet, and translator who has spent more than two decades of his life inside the Tamil language. Thomas first arrived in Madurai in 1998, almost by accident, planning to study Spanish and ecological ethics, and instead found himself apprenticed to a remarkable teacher, Dr. K. V. Ramakoti.That apprenticeship reshaped his entire life, drawing him from spoken Tamil into the world of Sangam poetry, Avvaiyar, and eventually the Tirukkural. His books include Give, Eat, and Live: Poems of Avvaiyar, A Feast for the Tongue, and his celebrated translation The Kural: Tiruvalluvar's Tirukkural, published by Beacon Press and honoured with Tamil Nadu's Ancient Tamil Literature Promotion Award.Alongside his Tamil work, Thomas has spent years translating Juan Rulfo's Spanish classic Pedro Páramo, and he is now writing his own novel, The Pines, about music, adolescence, and time. In our conversation, we talk about his childhood love of books and magic, the strange twist of fate that took him to Tamil Nadu instead of Mexico, and how learning Tamil changed the very way he perceives the world.We also talk about how translation found him — not as a plan, but as an inner necessity to share the poems he had fallen in love with. He speaks about the twelve years his teacher spent quietly nudging him towards translating the Tirukkural, his deep love of one-on-one teaching, and his continuing engagement with contemporary Tamil writers like Perumal Murugan.It is a rich, wide-ranging conversation about language, devotion, and the long, patient work of carrying words across worlds. So settle in, and let's get started with Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma.To Know more about Thomas's Work, please visit -https://thomaspruiksma.com/If you enjoy Harshaneeyam Podcast please follow the show on Apple, Spotify, or your favourite podcasting platform and leave a review for us.

Today on Harshaneeyam podcast we are thrilled to speak with author Ann Morgan about her new book, Relearning to Read: Adventures in Not-Knowing.While many books about reading focus on comfort and coziness, Ann's latest work takes a refreshing, different approach. The book is built on the realization that if we want to truly read widely, we must first make friends with our own incomprehension. Ann argues that since no one can possibly be an expert in every literature from around the globe, we should embrace our limitations. By getting comfortable with discomfort, she suggests we can actually deepen our appreciation for the world's richness.Ann Morgan is a talented writer and editor who has already published two critically acclaimed books. Her first book, Reading the World: Confessions of a Literary Explorer, was born from a massive personal challenge.In 2012, she embarked on a quest to read at least one book from every single country on Earth. That project began as a simple blog but quickly grew into something much more profound. Through this journey, Ann connected with readers, writers, translators, and literary organizations across the entire planet.She personally experienced the transformative power of literature during this time. She learned firsthand how stories have the potential to bridge cultural, political, and religious divides. Even today, Ann continues to share her passion for international literature at ayearofreadingtheworld.com.Her unique literary journey has even been featured in a TED talk, inspiring many others to start their own ventures. Beyond her writing, Ann currently sits on the funding panel for English PEN's PEN Translates program. She has also helped curate longlists for several major literary prizes over the years. This includes her work with the Commonwealth Foundation's short story prize and the FT/Oppenheimer Funds Emerging Voices awards.Ann is also a frequent speaker on the topic of international literature both within the UK and abroad. She is a familiar face at numerous literary festivals around the world.We are honored to host her today to discuss her adventurous approach to reading.If you enjoy Harshaneeyam Podcast please follow the show on Apple, Spotify, or your favourite podcasting platform and leave a review for us.

What does it take to carry Shakespeare across languages — not just his plots and his characters, but the very heartbeat of his verse? Today I'm speaking with Daniel Hahn, one of the most celebrated literary translators working today.With several works to his credit, he has translated fiction, nonfiction, children's books, and plays from across Europe, Africa, and the Americas. He is the recipient of the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, the International Dublin Literary Award, the Blue Peter Book Award, and the 2023 Ottaway Award for the Promotion of International Literature. In 2020, he was appointed an OBE for his services to literature.Daniel's new book, If This Be Magic: The Unlikely Art of Shakespeare in Translation, is part love letter, part close reading, and part globe-trotting investigation — one that took him from Budapest theatre seats to Zoom calls with translators working in everything from Swahili to Bangla. It's a book that asks: when you change everything, can you still keep everything?published in April 2026 - If This Be Magic: The Unlikely Art of Shakespeare in Translation by Daniel Hahn is a non-fiction book exploring how Shakespeare's plays are translated, adapted, and re-imagined for global audiences.

"Welcome to Harshaneeyam Podcast. Today, we enter the intricate, wickedly humorous, and deeply observant world of Swedish author Ia Genberg. Joining us is the acclaimed translator Kira Josefsson, whose English translation of the short story collection - Small Comfort, has been longlisted for the International Booker Prize 2026.Kira is no stranger to Genberg's sharp prose; she also translated the 2024 International Booker Prize-shortlisted novel The Details. In Small Comfort, the author shifts her focus toward the subtle, often invisible ways that money, status, and debt permeate our most intimate human relationships. From a former child star turned elusive interviewee to a divorced couple feigning marriage to secure an inheritance, these stories take us to the inner worlds of these characters.Stay with us as we discuss the 'slippery' nature of success, the challenge of finding distinct tonalities for interconnected stories, and why Ia Genberg is a master of making the mundane feel extraordinary."If you enjoy Harshaneeyam Podcast please follow the show on Apple, Spotify, or your favourite podcasting platform and leave a review for us.

"Welcome to Harshaneeyam. Today, we delve into a powerful work of Bulgarian literature that has recently made its way to the 2026 International Booker Prize shortlist: 'She Who Remains' by Renée Karbash.The novel explores the life of a 'sworn virgin'—a woman who, according to an ancient Balkan tradition, takes a vow of celibacy and lives as a man to gain the rights and status reserved for men in a patriarchal society. However, Karbash moves beyond the tradition itself to examine the psychological weight of this choice. It is a story about identity, the cost of survival, and the profound isolation that comes with erasing one's past.Joining us to discuss this work is the English translator Izidora Angel. Having translated other notable Bulgarian writers like Natalia Deleva, Izidora found this particular project to be uniquely challenging and innovative.In our conversation, she talks about the experience of the book being recognized by the International Booker Prize—from the initial longlist to the formal invitation to London. We also discuss her translation process, specifically how she approached Karbash's experimental style and the linguistic shifts required to capture a character who transitions between a female past and a male present. It is a fascinating look at how a translator navigates a text that is as much about what is unsaid as what is written."Izidora Angel is a Bulgarian-born memoirist, essayist and literary translator based in Chicago. Her translation of She Who Remains by Rene Karabash has been shortlisted for the 2026 International Booker Prize.Izidora's writing has appeared in A Public Space, Astra Magazine, Electric Literature, Gulf Coast, and elsewhere, and anthologized in Best Literary Translations. She's been recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Elizabeth Kostova Foundation, PEN/Heim, and others.Izidora is completing her debut memoir, Solomon's Daughter, first excerpted in The American Scholar.If you enjoy Harshaneeyam Podcast please follow the show on Apple, Spotify, or your favourite podcasting platform and leave a review for us.

"Welcome to Harshaneeyam!"Can a work of art ever truly be washed clean of the hands that funded it? Is it possible to create a masterpiece in the shadow of a monster? Today, we are exploring these haunting questions through the lens of The Director—the latest novel by the brilliant German author Daniel Kehlmann. Set against the harrowing backdrop of the late 1930s and 1940s, the story follows the legendary film director G.W. Pabst as he returns to Nazi-occupied Austria.Pabst finds himself ensnared by the propaganda machine of Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Enlightenment and Propaganda, who wielded absolute control over the German press and arts to serve the regime's twisted ideology. Pabst believes his creative genius can transcend such a system, but at what cost?Upon its original release in Germany under the title Lichtspiel, the novel became an immediate sensation, sparking intense literary debates about the moral compromises of artists during the Third Reich. This buzz has only grown as the book enters the global stage, with the English edition published in the year 2025. Now, having been shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2026, the novel stands as one of the most anticipated and discussed works of contemporary fiction."Joining me today is the man who brought this intricate, tonal masterpiece into English: the award-winning translator Ross Benjamin. We discuss the 'moral acrobatics' of the artist and the 'tonal agility' required to translate one of the most important voices in contemporary German literature. This is a conversation about light, shadow, and the high cost of staying silent."We believe that every great book is an invitation to a new world. Harshaneeyam serves as your gateway to these contemporary global masterpieces, connecting you with the authors and translators who shape our literary landscape.If you enjoy Harshaneeyam please follow the show on Apple, Spotify, or your favourite podcasting platform and leave a review for us.

Your feedback is the secret ingredient that helps us improve and create content tailored to your interests!The Versatility of Kehlmann's VoiceOne of the most striking aspects of Daniel Kehlmann's writing is his ability to shift registers with surgical precision. Ross Benjamin notes that as a translator, the greatest challenge—and thrill—is capturing Kehlmann's "tonal range and agility." In The Director, the narrative moves seamlessly from the slapstick humor of a film set to the chilling, quiet terror of a propaganda ministry.Kehlmann's work is characterized by a "light touch." He avoids the heavy-handedness often found in historical fiction, opting instead for a style that is "sly and inventive." Whether he is writing about the magical realism of Tyll or the cinematic obsession in 'The Director' Kehlmann manages to be intellectually serious without ever losing his propulsive, vivid storytelling.Cinema and the Shadow of PropagandaThe Director follows the life of the legendary film director G.W. Pabst. After a failed stint in Hollywood, Pabst finds himself back in Nazi-occupied Austria. The novel explores the "adventure of not-knowing"—the tragic delusion that an artist can separate their craft from the political machine surrounding them.Ross Benjamin explains that the novel is not just a biography; it is a meditation on the "moral issues" of creation. Pabst believes he can make a masterpiece even under the watchful eye of Joseph Goebbels. The Original German Title Licht Speil - "light play" refers not just to the flicker of the film projector, but to the deceptive game the artist plays with a monstrous regime.The Challenge for the TranslatorTranslating a work of this magnitude requires more than just bilingual fluency; it requires a deep understanding of historical subtext. Ross Benjamin discusses the difficulty of translating the "Propaganda Deutsch" of the era—a language designed to obfuscate and control."There's a specific humor in Kehlmann," Ross shares. "It's often found in the absurdity of the situations." In one scene discussed during the podcast, a group of officials descends on a film set, and the dialogue shifts into a terrifyingly polite, yet deadly, exchange. Capturing that "mask of civility" in English while maintaining the underlying threat is the "invisible labor" of the translator.Why ‘The Director' Matters TodayAs ‘The Director' makes its way to the International Booker Prize shortlist, its relevance is undeniable. It asks a question that resonates in every era: What is the cost of staying silent? Through the lens of 1940s cinema, Kehlmann and Benjamin provide a mirror to our own world, exploring how easily "art for art's sake" can be weaponized by those in power.For listeners of Harshaneeyam, this interview is a deep dive into the "Philosophy of Translation" and the meticulous craft required to bring a German masterpiece into the global literary consciousness.About the Author & TranslatorDaniel Kehlmann Daniel Kehlmann is one of the most successful contemporary German-language authors. Born in Munich in 1975, he rose to international fame with his 2005 novel Measuring the World (Die Vermessung der Welt), which became one of the biggest-selling German novels since WWII. His works frequently blend historical fact with magical realism and philosophical inquiry. He has received numerous awards, including the Kleist Prize and the Thomas Mann Prize. His previous collaboration with Ross Benjamin on the novel Tyll was also a global sensation and a finalist for the International Booker Prize.Ross Benjamin Ross Benjamin is an award-winning translator of German literature based in the United States. His translations include works by Franz Kafka, Friedrich Hölderlin, and Joseph Roth. He is perhaps best known for his definitive translation of The Diaries of Franz Kafka, which was hailed for its faithfulness to Kafka's original, unedited prose. Benjamin's work is noted for its linguistic sensitivity and his ability to capture the specific "musicality" of German authors. He is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Helen and Kurt Wolff Translator's Prize.The Director' in press -A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2025A New York Times Notable Book of 2025A Telegraph Book of the Year 2025A Guardian Book of the Year 2025An Observer Book of the year 2025* Please complete Harshaneeyam Listener Survey using the link below.

Episode 382 of RevolutionZ continues our sequence of chapters from the soon forthcoming book, The Wind Cries Freedom: An Oral History of the Next American Revolution. This chapter's title is "Beyond Capitalism, Classlessness." But, before we get into that, and  as with other recent episodes, first we briefly take up two current issues of interest, cancel culture and what to do about AI. A publisher decides to pulp books it once praised. The publisher moves the word “cancel” from being descriptive to being vicious. What should we make of that? Perhaps best to consider a real case. A German anarchist-leaning publisher removes from its list four Noam Chomsky titles. We ask the uncomfortable question, how can that be true? Even if Chomsky or any other writer behaved really grossly, as Chomsky didn't but many others have, should anyone, much less an anarchist-leaning press, judge their books by their actual content, or should we all  perform some kind of purity test on their writer and dispense with the writer's books? Put differently, should we publish or for that matter read books for their content or just to celebrate or denigrate their authors? When a crowd, or a part of a crowd, gets angry at an author, is it appropriate to dispense with the author's books to avoid annoying the crowd? Is that anarchist behavior, socialist behavior, or feminist behavior, or is it fascist behavior?What happens to truth, organizing, and our own moral spine when outrage becomes a reflex, when “guilty until proven innocent” turns into a culture, and books become targets to cancel? The first part of  episode 382 argues a position that ought to be self evident. A book is not its author. Pulping books is just a less graphic version of burning books which is true even when leftists light the fire. And finally, cancellation behavior perverts its perpetrators as well as attacks its targets. After that, we take up some matters of artificial intelligence to apply a practical, political focus. Best case, AI helps cure cure cancer, reverse global warming, and expand human capability. Worst case, AI intensifies surveillance, makes manipulation mandatory, assaults the planet, un-employs millions, and weaponizes itself to the point of AIs hunting humans for sport. How can we conceive AI policy demands to make now, including enforceable oversight, bans on dangerous uses, limits on energy use, and economic rules that turn productivity gains into shared well being rather than into private profit? How can we usefully think about demands to guide ethical AI, algorithmic accountability, the climate impact of AI, and even AI's collateral soul-stripping impact on its totally well-meaning users in their daily lives?Finally, this episode moves into another “report from the future.” Interviewees  describe building classlessness through RPS organizing. Their accounts get concrete about attaining a new, worthy, viable economy that includes balanced job complexes and self-management that actually shares power, They talk about RPS steadily enlarging its working class membership and leadership, and about the hard cultural work of confronting coordinator-class arrogance without blowing up needed solidarity. Various interviewees from The Wind Cries Freedom  describe their economic organizing experiences to offer insights on all these matters. From future Amazon sit-down strikes to a broad shift among professionals toward choosing “for the people” roles, this episode's chapter argues that the path to economic liberation is built on carefully considered strategic practices.Support the show
