Lisa Ray Instagram – #VivekShanbhag has been described as the Indian Chekhov. I’m not sure why this description bothers me. I know he’s a wondrous talent. We don’t need to compare him to a dead Russian writer.
Owning India’s contemporary literary legacy as well as highlighting its rich legacy is a far more interesting endeavour. The problem is it takes effort and invites nuance as well as an impulse to step outside the coded discussions of literary establishment.
Or maybe I suffer from PTSD of playing Masha in drama school one too many times.
Anyhow I’ll let you know once I’m done. | Posted on 23/Sep/2021 14:58:43
