The South Asian Literary Recordings Project

Bookish Desi is excited to discover the South Asian Literary Recordings Project.  [Hat tip: Yesha]

… an exciting project in which 79 authors from the South Asian region have been recorded reading works written in their native languages — 18 different languages, in fact! I was first introduced to the website for the project by an e-friend who had been listening to a podcast of mine in which I interviewed a family member who recited Ghalib’s poetry in Urdu and who thought I’d be intrigued by this broader and more encompassing audio project.
