Also, when you approach authors regarding translating their work into English, how do they respond?

Oh yeah, and here's one you can read for free. This is the lead story in the third volume of our Tamil Pulp Fiction anthology. (It's super fun but it's kind of a bizarre choice for Granta to publish it lol) granta.com/look-out-nar...
Look Out, Narendran!
A madman is dead set on blowing up the Taj Mahal, and there’s only one pair of detectives who can stop him. Tamil Pulp Fiction at its best.

Watching/reading anything @stephenking.bsky.social, I travel back to my teenage when I first picked up Just After Sunset. I still remember the title of the story, 'N'. The character made me feel that I was normal. That people exist in this world that don't conform to 'societal' ideas of a person.
