Check out our curated book lists that give you a variety of book suggestions to choose from. And lastly, read book excerpts for free, to get a taste of the book before you buy them.
We speak to some of India’s finest authors, translators, publishers, book designers, illustrators, and all kinds of storytellers about their works, the craft of writing, what it means to be a writer in our times, their favourite books, and much more.
Literary research, critical analysis, tributes and odes, personal reflections, trends mapping – all this and more features in our essays section which brings you new insights, expert opinions on all things books and stories from students, professors, and practitioners of literature.
