Ahead of the Frankfurt Book Fair, we joined a panel event to explore writing, translating and publishing with a focus on Assamese and the anthology, A Fistful of Moonlight: New Fiction from Assam (BEE Books India, MacLehose UK, 2023).
The speakers included writer Bikash Sihingia, translator Harsita Hiya, BEE Books editor Riddhi Maitra, moderated by Lucy Hannah, director of Untold Narratives.
Write Assamese was a collaboration between Untold Narratives, British Council, BEE Books in Kolkata and KfW Foundation.
