What is Suprose?

Welcome to Suprose.

Why Su-prose? "Su" in Sanskrit is a prefix for "good". This is a place where we will discuss and analyze prose (with a South Asian Connection) - that which is good, awesome, excellent, and maybe rant about prose that could be better.

Whether you love prose, are a prose expert, or want to learn more about prose, or to put it simply want to have anything to do with prose, this blog is for you.

  1. Look forward to reading the book. Suprose always manages to bring forth interesting books and very erstwhile south Asian women authors. Always a pleasure reading!

  2. Great blog and what a generous idea. I am always on the lookout for good reads. I enjoyed reading Tiger Hills very much and would love to gift it to others - enjoyed this interview with Sarita Mandanna as well! I'd recommend interviewing children's author, poet and storyteller (my Mum!)Rosemarie Somaiah.

  3. I have just discovered your blog and I am so grateful for having found this, and for all your hard work here. I want to become more familiar with Indian and Indian-American literature, but every step for me, a white American recently captured by an interest in Indian culture through Indian friends and a few Hindi classes, is an introduction. There is a need to raise the voices of Indian writers all over the world, and this blog could be a good resource for me. Bahut, bahut shukriya.

    2. What I find myself appreciating also are your posts about the professional writing experience and
      "business of books", regarding memoir, publishing, the international, cross-cultural spread of contemporary literature. I like how this blog shows world-famous authors most people know (Tagore, Rushdie)and contemporary authors I might like to begin with. It's a way for me to get my feet wet studying writing and Indian literature from the computer.

Also wanted to let you know that I'm guest editing an issue of the literary ezine, Sugarmule. It's a special South Asian issue 'Borders & Partitions: South Asia, Diaspora'. It will be available on line from May 2013 and I would be so pleased if you'd review it. Three sections: memoir, fiction and poetry from both established and emerging writers.
