Synopsis "Heart Lamp: Selected Stories"

Winner of the International Booker Prize 2025

In the twelve stories of Heart Lamp, Banu Mushtaq exquisitely captures the everyday lives of women and girls in Muslim communities in southern India.

Praised for their dry and gentle humour, these portraits of family and community tensions have garnered both censure from conservative quarters as well India’s most prestigious literary awards.

'One of Karnataka's leading progressive writers.' New Age Islam'Exploring the lives of those often on the periphery of society, these vivid stories hold immense emotional and moral weight' The International Booker Prize 2025 Judges -- The International Booker Prize 2025 Judges

Maravillosa colección de relatos honestos, ricos. El uso del lenguaje originario, la valentía de develar la vida cotidiana y tantas veces abusiva a la que están sujetas las mujeres islámicas en el sur de la India, deviene universal. Identifica uno en ellas a las mujeres de tantas y tantas partes del mundo. También consigue sin embargo, educarnos en los pormenores de rutinas, protocolos, costumbres, creencias y costumbres propias de la región y de la religión. La señora Bany Mushtaq escribe, describe, se adentra y nos hace experimentar el dolor, el amor, el asombro, la belleza, la ira, la desesperanza y la sensualidad de manera sencilla, única y sólida.
