Yes, it’s often the unexpected books that shape the reading and publishing landscape. I feel not enough attention is given to books like ‘Chandrakanta’. They are dismissed as pulp, and their impact disregarded. I am fascinated by Devaki Nandan Khatri’s novels - he wrote some of the earliest thrillers and sci-fi in India.
Very interesting, now looking forward to reading your translation of the first bestseller, Rohini!
‘Chandrakanta’ is quite a page-turner. It was fun translating it. I hope you’ll have fun reading it. 😊
Yes, this is truly fascinating!
