"Turning away from spoon-fed translation, #HeartLamp does ask a lot of its reader, but both Banu Mushtaq and translator Deepa Bhasthi, believe we are up to the job."

Did I just casually run into the 2025 Booker Prize winning author and all round lovely person, Banu Mushtaq?

Obvs.

Did I sit down for a long chat/ interview with her after?

Obvs.

Agonising over which book to start next is one of the greatest pleasures of life.

Is it not?

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
