💨 Abstract

Karnataka-based author 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, set in the Muslim communities of southern India, appealed to the judges for its vivid, colloquial, moving, and excoriating style.
