An interesting email I received from Muse India has this to say about a literary Prize:
The Man Asian Literary Prize 2007
The first Man Asian Literary Prize will be awarded in the Autumn of 2007 for an “Asian novel unpublished in English” and each twelve months thereafter. The objectives of creating the Asian Literary Prize are:
To bring exciting new Asian authors to the attention of the world literary community
To facilitate publishing and translation of Asian literature in and into English.
To highlight Asia’s developing role in World literature.
The Prize was initiated by the Hong Kong International Literary Festival Ltd. with financial support from Man Group Plc.
Submissions will be accepted electronically online from 1 Nov, 2006 to 31 Mar, 2007. For details and to submit works, please see
www.manasianliteraryprize.org
The Prize is worth $10,000 with an additional $3000 for the translator.

Worth taking a look?
Incidentally the Nov-Dec 2006 issue of Muse India is devoted to writing from Kerala.

Dev Bhai, howdy?
Thanks for the links and the intro. I think MusIndia has done a decent job to line up some of the known and not-so-known names from malayalam litt. However I heard from trusted sources there are many more and perhaps more impressives names that can be featured later. Among the featured folks, I think Meera.K.R has been mentioned with some excitement.

Hi Rajesh.. I was thinking that every email that one receives pertaining to literary issues should be recorded in one's blog... a rich trail would thus be created... but that's easy to say.... I must get down to doing it religiously... Here's wishing all members of Neti_Neti a happy new year...
