Delighted to share that Jeyamohan’s novel “The Abyss” has been acquired by Transit Books @transitbooks. The US edition will be out in 2026.
It was Jeyamohan’s birthday yesterday, the deal report couldn’t have come at a better time. Much gratitude to our agent @kan_writersside :)
Now that Jeyamohan's fourth book in translation is out in English, it's about time someone created a thread. This one is sure to grow and grow, like Hanuman's tail.
Two books by Jeyamohan (Stories of the True, White Elephant) will soon be out in the US, from Farrar, Straus and Giroux (FSG).
A little bit of a big deal :) A very happy day for Tamil literature. Take a bow, @priyamvada_ram@kan_writersside and many congratulations!
A classic Jeyamohan short story called ‘Pradhaman’ in my translation. One of my absolute favourites.
The story was published in the print-only little magazine South Parade, and is reproduced on my blog with permission.
