Notice : Date Extension
The Literature Page of The Daily Star will bring out a Special Eid issue of English translations of Bengali short stories. All translators, as well would-be translators, who have wanted to be published in a reputed publication, all those who have a favourite Bengali story s/he thinks ought to be translated should submit their entries.
We are looking for stories that depict contemporary life in Bangladesh, by younger, edgier authors who otherwise tend to be given short shrift in standard translation anthologies and collections. The short stories ideally should not be more than 3000-3500 words, and first-time translators should be aware that it is extremely taxing to translate stories beyond that length. The translations, along with a copy of the Bangla original (if a photostat, then the reproduction should be clear and legible) should be sent to:
The Literary Editor
The Daily Star, 19 Karwan Bazar, Dhaka -1215

"For Translation Eid Special." The last date for submissions is August 30.
Separately, the last date for submission of articles for The Daily Star nonfiction anthology has been extended to October 30, 2007.
