Hello We have a few events lined up for you next month, and hope you will find the time to attend one or all of them.
*3rd Jan 2017* Rana Ayyub will be reading and discussing from her book 'Gujarat Files'. It is an eight month undercover investigation on the fake encounters and Gujarat riots exposing the complicity of Politicians. In 2010, her investigation on fake encounters landed the first serving Home Minister Amit Shah behind bars. Posing as Maithili Tyagi, a student of the American Film Institute Conservatory along with a French intern, she did a sting operation on some of the top officials and bureaucrats in Gujarat. Tehelka, the organisation for which she did this investigation refused to publish it citing political pressure. Further two publication houses with whom she had a contract eased out of it. When the mainstream media too looked the other way, she self published the book in May 2016. From 500 copies to 40000 copies, Gujarat Files is one of the success of the year 2016. In a review, Business Standard called it India's entry to the Pulitzer. Please gather by 6 pm for food, beverages and seats. The event is presented in association with 6 Assagao. *6th Jan 2017* We continue with our monthly open mic poetry slam sessions, held on the first Friday of each month. The session on the 6th begins at 5pm. *14th Jan 2017* *The Art of Translation: Practicalities, Pitfalls and Pratfalls*, a workshop by Paul Melo e Castro, author and translator, will be held on 14th January, 2017, at 4pm. During this workshop, Dr. Castro will discuss his general translation practice in terms of the compromises that must be made in shifting between languages and the potential slip-ups that can occur when mediating between languages, cultures and historical periods. He will also discuss his translation of 'O Genro Comensal', a short story by the Goan author, Vimala Devi. A copy of the translation will be shared with the registered participants prior to the workshop, which will be useful for anyone interested in translation as an idea or wanting to start out publishing translations him or herself. Those interested for the workshop may register with their email id and telephone number by calling 88056 46643 / 98503 98530. A registration fee of Rs. 100 per person will be charged. We invite you to attend these events at the bookshop. Your continued support will encourage us to keep going. Warm Regards, Leonard J Fernandes Co-founder and Director, Dogears Print Media Pvt. Ltd.
