How are India’s literary translators coping with the pandemic? Nothing is lost in translation
In the wake of successive lockdowns, with book sales shrinking across the board and some bookstores being forced to close down, I found myself thinking in particular about translations, and how the pandemic might make it even more challenging to publish these. Translations have been intrinsic not only to my reading life but to my journey in publishing.
Open to Indian nationals, the NIF Fellowship carries a stipend of Rs 150,000 per month for a year, apart from editorial and publishing support.
