ONCE IT FLOWERS: The Fiction Of Vinod Kumar Shukla
Vinod Kumar Shukla and Satti Khanna in Conversation with Mohini Gupta
Renowned for bringing the marvellous to the ordinary, Vinod Kumar Shukla has long been recognised as one of India’s foremost writers with his unique stories that deal with 'smaller-than-life people'. Satti Khanna, who has translated a number of Vinod-ji's works into English, speaks with writer and translator Mohini Gupta about his remarkable-yet-mundane world, the startling originality of his voice and syntax, and the experience and challenge of translating him.
