पृथ्वी की गंध

 The superlative living master Amit Dutta at his most direct, and most accessible in the 2 minute 'The Scent of Earth' [मिट्टी इत्र]. 

Go forth and prosper, o successor of Mani Kaul! 

Yellow yellow dirty fellow

'Yellowface' by Rebecca F Kuang is an unputdownable, wickedly funny book that's worth devouring in one sitting. This is how great storytelling reads like. Rebecca Kuang and Sally Rooney are capturing the zeitgeist like no one else in their generation. Splendid stuff! Well done.

And Kuang's next project "Katabasis" made NF cackle:

[...] she is also working on her sixth novel, a fantasy about two magical PhD students as they travel to Hell "to rescue the soul of their advisers so that they can write their job recommendation letters".

Godspeed!
