''Fiction does something with contradictions that nonfiction is not as adept at, it asks questions rather than delivering answers.'' Author Anne Enright talks about the process of writing fiction and how elements of her life find their way into her work. #WindhamCampbellPrizes2025

@typingvanara @MeruGokhale @SanjoyRoyTWA @NamitaGokhale_ This is an annual 8-day workshop @AshokaUniv with @AmitChaudhuri ashoka.edu.in/event/the-asho…

A former student just asked me: are there any fiction workshops in Bombay or Goa? Or further afield? @MeruGokhale @SanjoyRoyTWA @NamitaGokhale_

@KFergusonWrites @mayday_online Congratulations Kristi! I found the essay both wonderful and moving!

Last year, a chance encounter on a trip home led to some big feelings and an essay that I’m so thrilled gets to live @mayday_online. It’s a piece of writing stripped straight from my soul and I’d be honored if you gave it a read maydaymagazine.com/what-i-do-and-…

@tanujsolanki It's a little slow but it gets better, I promise. :)

Just finished Panchayat S3, ep 2, and I think I'm done with the show. It still has its basic draw: characters who likely experience boredom, scarcity, slowness, and therefore occasionally seem to us as being in an idyll. Lauki as ur-symbol. But ho gaya ab.

I have a book event for my essay collection, The Body Is A Temporary Gathering Place, @autofocuslit happening a week from today @kramerbooks at 7p. If you're in the DC area, I'd love to see you at the event and meet and hang for a bit! eventbrite.com/e/andrew-berta…

@andrewbertaina @autofocuslit @kramerbooks I'll be there!

Poetrywalas and friends please come out for this group reading- my first in many moons- Amanda Newell and Danny Lawless have new books -desert wine and Fab community! @Poetry_Daily @LitWatershed @cheusecenter @Plamenpress please tell your friends!

"Life is what exists on the fringes of plot." It was an honor to speak with @AmitChaudhuri about his rebellions against the realist novel and his "quixotic endeavor" to daydream and cheerfully fail in a literary world dominated by the market. unburied-books.castos.com/episodes/tease…

@fultufaltu @SanSip @VineethaMokkil He published a novella in The New Yorker a few years ago. newyorker.com/books/novellas…

@SanSip @VineethaMokkil Not a month goes by that i don't Google for Daniyal Muennudin, hoping he's written something new. He hasn't to the best of my knowledge.

In the wake of the outpouring of love for Alice Munro’s work, who are the contemporary short story writers – in any language – worth reading?
