is a writer and occasionally blogs here.
I have also translated most of the poems in the collection “To the Punjab of Farid” and Bhaswati and I helped to edit “Recovering the Lost Tongue” written by Rahul Banerjee. Both are available from amazon.com by following the links on the images below.
“To the Punjab of Farid and other poems” is available as a free e- book.
An unabridged version of “Recovering the Lost Tongue” is also available on-line.

Hi, just got your reference to the Maissa Bey essay I
translated for World Lit. Today. Bey is NOT
the daughter of Larbi Ben M’Hidi…the French tortured and
summarily executed thousands of Algerian rebels, her
father and Ben M’Hidi met the same fate, but M’Hidi was
the head of the FLN in Algiers, Bey’s father was a school-
teacher in el Boghari…I took a round about way into
the subject, sorry if it wasn’t clear. Part I is about
Algeria and the ways its history has been used lately
by the Pentagon, part II is about Bey.
Also the essay stands by itself, Bey hasnt written a
book length memoir about her father, but she has written
a number of novels, all marked by early trauma.
glad to see people are reading WLT. best wishes, S Ruta
Also your photo shows two authors I love, Bolano and
Tomas Eloy Martinez…we seem to have the same tastes
