SUBI TABA

We are delighted to announce that 'Tales from the Dawn-Lit Mountains' by Subi Taba is on the longlist for Best Debut (Across Genres) at the Kalinga Literary Festival Book Awards 2026. Some landscapes hold stories that feel as old as the mountains themselves. In 'Tales from the Dawn-Lit Mountains', Subi Taba draws readers into the rich cultural world of Arunachal Pradesh, where memory, myth and lived experience intertwine. From spirit tigers and sacred rituals to moments of loss and transformation, these stories are shaped by the rhythms, beliefs and histories of the region’s communities. Join us in celebrating literature at the Kalinga Literary Festival Book Awards, which will take place on May 9, 2026, at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. #KalingaLiteraryFestival #KLFBookAwards2026 #KLF2026 #KLFIndraprastha #IndiaHabitatCentre #NewDelhi #IndianLiterature #ShortStories #NortheastIndia #BookLonglist #BookCommunity
