Listen to an exclusive interview with The International Booker Prize winner Geetanjali Shree. Her Hindi novel ‘Ret Samadhi’ (Tomb of Sand) is the first book originally written in any Indian language to win the International Booker Prize, and the first novel translated from Hindi to be recognised by the award.
In conversation with broadcaster Achala Sharma, recorded on the eve of Booker announcement in London, Geetanjali Shree discusses the process of writing her award winning novel, working along with her translator, Daisy Rockwell, her life and work in this 24th episode of Cine Ink Podcast Series ‘Kitaab Kaulum’.
‘Ret Samadhi’ has been published by Rajkamal Prakashan, New Delhi, and translated in English by Daisy Rockwell under the title ’Tomb of Sand’ published by Tilted Axis Press UK.
Set in northern India, Tomb of Sand follows the adventures of an 80-year-old woman who unexpectedly gains a new, and highly unconventional, lease of life. The result is a book that is engaging, funny and utterly original, at the same time as being an urgent and timely protest against the destructive impact of borders and boundaries - whether between religions, countries or genders.

Beautiful interview. Could identify with the Paragraph Read and with the Author. Seems down to earth as the Author belongs to the Mitti of greats like Munshi Premchand. Ordered the original Hindi novel. Will study the Prised English translation at a later date. Thank You
