In contemporary times, writing is political activity: Benyamin
New Delhi, May 28 (IANS) For him, it is important that the tales he decides to tell not only relate but also 'belong' to him in multiple ways. And while some stories have a range wide enough for many paths to develop, taking the shape of a novel, others might lose their charm if stretched. "So, they should be short stories. Of course, it's the writer's creative intuition and experience that guides him to decide the destiny of a tale. But choosing a story itself is a painful process, I just cannot write it unless it calls me," says Malayalam author Benyamin, winner of multiple awards in 2018, including the inaugural JCB Prize for Literature for 'Jasmine Days' and The Crossword Book Award for Indian Language Translation for the same work.
