Sabrina Almedia interviewed Pratap Reddy for Can India News: on immigration, balancing writing with work, and future projects. "“Ramya’s Treasure” is a novel about immigration and immigrants’ aspiration. The uniqueness of this novel is that it is about life as seen through the eyes of an immigrant from India who is a down and out single woman, separated from her husband not so long ago, and recently laid off from work. It is journey of self-discovery as Ramya tries to crawl out of her unenviable situation to seek some purpose in her life. It’s a story written with both sympathy and humour." For the full interview:

Carolyn Creed reviewed paulo da costa's The Midwife of Torment and Other Stories for Prairie Fire's Summer 2018 issue. "Spread out among six sections, da Costa’s fictions vary from mere flashes of life, mostly as tormented as the title suggests, to fleshed-out nightmare conflicts. These fictions never occupy more than three or four pages of the collection, yet some require days of mulling to decipher their word-codes. Luckily, the undertaking yields deep-seated surprises and sometimes sheer delights, and turns out well worth the occasional brain-cramp." For the full review:

Land for Fatimah by Veena Gokhale was reviewed by Cecilia Keating in the Summer 2018 issue of the Montreal Review of Books. "Land for Fatimah is a powerful tale about land ownership, dispossession, power, and poverty told through the eyes of four women. Veena Gokhale approaches these beefy topics with such detail, sophistication, and delicacy that it is clear the story is deeply rooted in her own time working in a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Tanzania."

Nilambri Ghai reviews Julian Samuel's Radius Islamicus in Montreal Serai. "Julian Samuel’s speculative novel shocks the reader while making her laugh and cry all at once. It is irreverent, sardonic and brutal, with body parts being blown to unrecognizable pieces. Nothing is sacred anymore. There are no gods except made-up ones for terrorists. Whatever smiles are there are the smiles of the near dead. It does not matter who falls as long as the donkeys are intact. All is fair as long as there is no disclosure during the “whimper” at the end – the one last blast before the final take off. I would recommend this unusual novel to readers. I found it always clever, sometimes brilliant, beautiful and musical in parts." For the full review: https://montrealserai.com/article/radius-islamicus/
