💨 Abstract

Karnataka-based writer Banu Mushtaq's short story collection 'Heart Lamp', translated from Kannada to English by Deepa Bhasthi, has been longlisted for the International Booker Prize 2025. The collection, which explores the lives of those often on the periphery of society, was praised for its vivid, colloquial, moving, and excoriating style.
