Siddharth DASGUPTA (novelist, poet, journalist; India) is the author, most recently, of The Sacred Sorrow of Sparrows—a collection of stories fed by the textures and human splendor within grief; and All These Streets We’ve Known By Heart, which was shortlisted for The Tagore Prize, among others. He is currently working on a gathering of short stories, one of human beings trying to find salvation in the dramas and the bodies and the cities and the coastal empires they know as home. His participation is made possible thanks to the generous support of Hugh F. Culverhouse, Jr. and other donations made to the International Writing Program.
