Had an amazing time at #AWP2025 in the City of Angels! Thanks to Kaya Press and all our other co-tablers for putting it together. We sold out Anti-Caste SF, Mizo Myths, and Priyanka Paul's zine "This Body Is Not a Temple". & lots of American-born Gujaratis came by to pick up Gujarati Pulp Fiction!
In Gogu Shyamala's "The Phantom Ladder", a brahmin medical student is magically transported to a smasaanam (cremation ground), where a spectral entity schools him on the history of caste oppression and Dalit resistance.
Read it in THE BLAFT BOOK OF ANTI-CASTE SF
STUPID GUY GOES TO INDIA is the hilarious autobiographical story of Yukichi Yamamatsu's first trip outside Japan at age 56, and his quixotic attempt to get rich selling Hindi translations of classic samurai manga.
