25 February 2026, 16:24 PM
Although The Wedding People deals with sensitive issues such as depression and suicide, it is done in a light-hearted and an endearingly humorous way.

REFLECTIONS / Grief, guilt, and memories in the pages of Annie Ernaux’s ‘A Woman’s Story’

4 January 2026, 13:34 PM
There are two things that struck me the most in the book: firstly, Eranux's thoughts during the funeral, and secondly, her statement about her mother’s appearance after Alzheimer's Disease had gripped her.

BOOK REVIEW: FICTION / A tangled knot of wealth and sin

22 December 2025, 11:07 AM
The novella is written from the perspective of an unnamed narrator, who represents sloth. He is a nostalgic and unambitious man. Legally and on paper, he is the director of their family business, Sona Masala, although he does no actual work.

BOOK REVIEW: FICTION / An incident amidst nightly escapades

18 November 2025, 12:13 PM
“Graveyard Shift” is a highly anticipated work by M L Rio, following her success with If We Were Villains (Flatiron Books), released in 2017. Like its predecessor, the novella “Graveyard Shift” also stays in the realm of dark academia; however, the similarities between the two books end there.

5 November 2025, 18:00 PM
Translation is a bridge to connect different cultures and their literatures. It’s a medium to reflect the gems of a country’s literature around the globe.
