Read three poems by Kazi Neel, written in unnamed dialects from the chars (temporary unstable river-islands) in Assam, India, translated into English by @ShalimHussain. Their themes range from religious falsities to a woman's hopes to state control. buff.ly/0FyjDnx

Return by Raharimanana is one of the best books from 2025. Written as a series of notebooks from a writer excavating his childhood in Madagascar and his father’s political persecution. A beautiful prose poem that sets its own terms and limits. Deserves more discussion!

Let the night be full of stories: A publisher’s tribute to German writer Alexander Kluge (1932–2026) scroll.in/article/109170… via @scroll_in

Alexander Kluge was a rare soul in today's world. He was lucky that the the Publisher of Seagull Books, my old friend, Naveen Kishore felt the same way. Seagull has published (beautifully) much of Kluge's work as a glance at their website will reveal. It's an experience not to be missed. scroll.in/article/109170…

Goodbye to one of the secret, undersung geniuses of theworld letters and art. So many brilliant works. Pioneered a form of the novel. Made great cinema. Wrote lovingly about cinema.
