Here’s a sneak peek of what we've sent out in the Book Subscription! 

Our July book was Chandrabati’s Ramayan, which was accompanied by an exciting companion book, Lost Loves by Arshia Sattar! Chandrabati’s Ramayan, a 2020 release by Zubaan, is Nabaneeta Deb Sen’s sterling translation of the 16th century feminist retelling of the Ramayana by Chandrabati, a pioneering woman poet in Bangla.

August's book is Cox by Christoph Ransmayr, Simon Pare’s translation for Seagull Books! When James Cox, the eponymous English clockmaker, is invited by the Chinese Emperor to the Forbidden City to make automata for him, he isn’t prepared for the imagination and demands of the emperor that tests his professional skill and puts his life in peril.

In September, subscribers received Preeto, along with a companion book. Preeto is a collection of Urdu short stories by male writers gathered together in translation by Rakshanda Jalil, looking at the male gaze of the female body.
