About this listen

Translation is more than transforming just words—it’s about preserving the rhythm, emotion, and the soul of a text to allow the reader to taste the essence of the original.


In this episode of Talk About Writing, I sit down with renowned translator and professor of practice, Arunava Sinha, to explore the art of translation—what it means to carry a text across languages, cultures, and time.


With nearly 100 translations to his name, Arunava has played a major role in bringing classic, modern, and contemporary Bengali and Hindi literature to global audiences.


Whether you're a reader, an aspiring translator, or simply curious about what gets lost and found in translation, this episode is for you.


Hope you enjoy this bonus episode!
