Half I read on paper, the rest in pixels.🗣️

I hope most of them find a room on the @DublinLitAward longlist 2026, so I may have the pleasure of reading again.📚

Happy Dublin Season 🍷

[Dublin Literary Award @DublinLitAward]

We continue our introduction of the 2026 judging panel with Dan Mulhall, former Irish Ambassador and author of Ulysses: A Reader’s Odyssey and Pilgrim Soul. He has held roles at NYU, Cambridge and Harvard, and is Honorary President of the Yeats Society.

I have now received all 69 titles nominated for the @DublinLitAward. Such diversity with translated titles from 17 languages. Bravo. 👇From what I have already read, ranking these entries is going to be supremely difficult.

I was swept away by the novel’s soothing yet vivid language, so my attention drifted from plot's transitions. I lingered instead on the line, “the jungle gives and the jungle takes away,” a cadence that echoed my own verse: “the water washes away.../ yet the same water shapes...”

[Palash Mahmud @palashmahmud0]

Perfection belongs to the future alone. When it collapses into the present, it loses its luster, becoming mundane and muzzling.

I admired its narrative arcs, both in its spatial circulation and its temporal progression.

The @DublinLitAward 2026—its sixty-nine nominations unveiled like an old face restored, shimmering with an intriguing, universal spirit and a constellation of diverse, propulsive titles📚

Should I become a shadow judge?
The thought is tantalizing—

My great gratitude to @NobelPrize

My predicted shortlist is fully jammed with the foreign fictions & This Other Eden in English📚

I hope FF will dominate the Dublin season this year🍷

Reading 70 books in 70 days [16Jan-26Mar] 📚

It's a quite harculean task.

So I've taken a strategy to read my fav 27 in full length & 50-100 pages from the rest.

Because India had one additional ground to illustrate her cinema in neorealist mold. It is its independence and great partition which occurred concurrently while the west was suffering from  Second World War devastation.

While watching Shree 420, I was thinking about Aparajito’s Apu & Aranyak’s Satyacharan who had experienced the same existential predicaments in life but Shree 420’s Raj projection largely satirical but it touches the hearts of millions. https://t.co/SMtE4lAZHX

The battle between hedonist what Gopal is sunk into with lust & luxury versus virtuous principles what Pran is envelope with is the most enticing cinematic prognosis that is copied henceforward in South Asian cinematic narrative.

Awaara is. Yes, it is a movie except its denouement, any human mind desires to experience on screen. Yes, it is the definition of cinema classics.

I did not find any seminal variation and rendition in the cinematography aesthetically but technically it made some distinct additions in the Indian cinema.

K.A. Abbas is [I will present tense because the creative persons live forever] such a prolific creative persona & auteur both in literature and cinema.

Khwaja Ahmed Abbas’ Dharti Ke Lal [1946] shares some common features and outline of the narrative loosely both Mehmood Khan’s Mother India [1957] made almost one decade later and Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay’s Ashani Sanket [1959].

It was 1949. The new born country was in the process of coming out of British influences & facing a great crisis of duality of cultural & intellectual blending and existential crisis. Mehboob’s Andaz shed lights on the exact spot through a rom-com.

Mother India had a probability to fall into the genre of Akira’s Rashomon [1950] in respect of the high morality of women character and with all the loopholes of social justice.

K. Asif’s Mughal e-Azam [1960] is one of the wonders in world cinema, as Tajmal is in the world architectural beauty.
