Conceived and curated by UEA Professor of Contemporary Literature, Amit Chaudhuri, the 5th symposium in the Literary Activism series invited participants to account for the attractions of failing.
The symposium was hosted by the India International Centre, New Delhi, in partnership with Ashoka University, and took place in February 2020.
Here the eminent Bengali poet Ranajit Das reflects on the many ironies of literary failure and success and concludes with a reading of some translations of his own poetry.
