Congratulations and keep writing, Viji!
Despite getting published in 2021 during the pandemic, author Viji Krishnamoorthy’s debut novel – 912 Batu Road – published by Clarity Publishing, was received very well.
The book has already been reprinted twice, publisher Rosalind Chua from Clarity said. It’s also long-listed for the Dublin Literary Award 2023.It still feels surreal and unbelievable that a little book written at my dining table all those years ago would breathe the same air as Anthony Doerr, Elif Shafak Claire Keegan, Colm Tóibín and Geetanjali Shree . Seems completely insane!
The winning author gets a literary prize of €100,000. If the book is an English translation, the author receives €75,000 and the translator, €25,000. The winner also gets a trophy provided by Dublin City Council.
