Translations are not simply bridges between languages; they are acts of sustained literary labour. L. V. Shanthakumari — translator of Sakshi and Gruhabhanga, and co-translator of Mandra, Bhitti and Niraakarana among others — has spoken of how Bhyrappa's novels sharpen a reader's sensibility, widen the reach of consciousness, and offer a larger vantage point on the workings of the human mind.
Saṃvācana, literally “reading together,” rests on a simple idea: we read better when we read, reflect and engage with ideas as a community.
