Suchitra Ramachandran on Mozhi Prize Anthology - I

Today we have Suchitra Ramachandran talking about Literary translation in India and Mozhi Prize Anthology – I, A House Without Cats and Other Stories Published by SouthSide Books this year. Founded in 2022 by translators Suchitra Ramachandran and Priyamvada Ramkumar, Mozhi is an initiative that aims to bring together literatures from various Indian languages and provide a platform for critical discourse.

Mozhi Prize was instituted in the same year with a mission to discover and inspire new talent in translation. With the desire to remain accessible to hitherto unpublished translators, the Prize awards outstanding translations of short fiction written in Indian languages, into English. 

Suchitra Ramachandran, Co-Founder of Mozhi,  writes fiction in Tamil and translates between Tamil and English. Her work has appeared in journals including Asymptote, South Parade and Narrative Magazine.  ‘The Abyss’, a translation of Tamil writer Jeyamohan’s novel ‘Ezhaam Ulagam‘, her first full-length translated work was shortlisted for the ALTA First Translation Prize in 2024 and was published by Juggernaut Books.
