Activity Description: This session, titled "Darkness, Light, and the Endless Possibilities of Literary Fiction," features author Jeyamohan and his translators, Iswarya V and Suchitra Ramachandran. They will discuss Jeyamohan's stories, which are written in Tamil and explore themes of destiny, transgression, and the entanglement of human lives with forces beyond comprehension. The discussion will cover the origins of these stories and the challenges of translating them across cultures and contexts. Two of Jeyamohan's books, One Million Footsteps (translated by Iswarya V) and The Daughter of Kumari (translated by Suchitra Ramachandran), which were recently published in English, will be highlighted. An audience Q&A will follow the discussion, after which Jeyamohan will sign books.
