Delve into conversations between the General Editors, Debjani Ganguly and Francesca Orsini, and the first four authors of this groundbreaking monograph series.

Gain insights into the creative co-existence, flashpoints, and intersections of language worlds from both the Global South and North, and explore multi-world models of literary production and criticism.
