Heart Lamp by Banu Mushtaq. #heartlamp #banumushtaq #bookerprize #Bookstagram 📚

Finished around 40% of #HeartLamp by #BanuMushtaq. It feels so dry, may be an issue with the translation. So to wash it down, I started to read the novella #NoOneWritesToTheColonel by #Marquez also. It's short, sweet and live. #BookSky

History made. Banu Mushtaq becomes the first Kannada author—and first short story writer—to win the International Booker Prize for Heart Lamp, a stunning portrait of Muslim women's lives in southern India.

Thoo By The Underdogs - The Times of India Heart Lamp, cynics will say, won International Booker because it employs literary tricks like writing about poor women. Not true. Like all good litera

#BanuMushtaq ’s book #HeartLamp , translated by #DeepaBhasthi, winning the InternationalBookerPrize is a #bandaya (Kannada for ‘ #dissent ’) moment for any #woman, #everywoman.
