The longlist for the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature 2015 was announced today: http://dscprize.com/global/updates/dsc-prize-2015-longlist-announced.html
Chairman of the DSC Prize jury, Keki Daruwalla will attend GALF 2014 (December 4-7 goaartlitfest.com). Two of the short-listed novelists have also confirmed their attendance - both of them, Bilal Tanweer and Meena Kandasamy chose Goa and GALF for the exclusive launches (as in first-ever internationally) of their books. Don't miss the videos of these two significant and wonderful literary events, both, as Hoskote says, "very organic to the GALF".
