Notice
The Literature Page of The Daily Star will bring out a Special Eid issue of English translations of Bengali short stories. All translators, as well would-be translators, all those who have a favourite Bengali story s/he thinks ought to be translated should submit their entries within the next two weeks. We are looking for stories that depict contemporary life in Bangladesh, by younger, edgier authors who otherwise tend to be given short shrift in standard translation anthologies and collections. Lesser known short stories by our classical authors will also be considered. The length of the stories can extend to 3000-3500 words, but translators should be aware that it is extremely taxing to translate stories beyond that length. However, allowances will be made for outstanding efforts. The translations, along with a copy of the Bangla original (if a photostat, then the reproduction should be clear and legible) should be sent to: The Literary Editor, The Daily Star, 19 Karwan Bazar, Dhaka-1215 Email: [email protected] Entries should be clearly marked "For Translation Eid Special."
