World Literature in Translation

Harshaneeyam is a home for the stories that cross borders and the people who bring them to life.

As one of the world’s largest archives of literary translator conversations, our podcast serves as a bridge between world literature and the rich heritage of Telugu fiction. We have built a unique, ever-growing collection that spans the globe.

A Global Translator Archive: Featuring over 100 Literary Translators covering more than 60 world languages. We focus on contemporary literature, hosting multiple award winners and rising stars who reveal the craft of turning foreign prose into a shared human experience.

The Heart of Telugu Fiction: Personal interviews with 40 leading authors, exploring the landscape of modern Telugu novels and short stories.

By placing the artistry of the translator alongside the creative imagination of the author, Harshaneeyam documents the journey of a story from the writer’s pen to the reader’s soul.

This archive continues to grow with every new conversation.
