Namita Gokhale of the Jaipur Literature Festival, Urvashi Butalia of Zubaan Books, and L. Somi Roy of Imasi: The Maharaj Kumari Binodini Devi Foundation went online to discuss the recently published e-book bestseller "The Princess and the Political Agent" by MK Binodini Devi.
The digital preview was presented by Ms. Gokhale as an Oxford Bookstores Premier Video on their Facebook page.
Mr. Roy, the translator of his mother's work from the original Manipuri into English, read an excerpt from his new translation now published as a Modern Classic by Penguin Random House India - a first for a book by a writer from Northeast India.
Ms. Butalia, publisher of Roy's previous translation "The Maharaja's Household: A Daughter's Memories of Her Father" (Zubaan Books, 2015), talked with Roy about the writer as well as his new translation of her Sahitya Akademi Award winning historical novel "Boro Saheb Ongbi Sanatombi".
The digital preview was attended live by readers from across India, including admirers of their Royal Mother Imasi from Manipur. It is archived for viewing on the Oxford Bookstores Facebook page @oxfordbookstores.
"The Princess and the Political Agent" is available on Amazon India where it has climbed to its #1 Bestseller spot in Historical Romance two days after its publication on 11 May 2020.
