Writers, etc., platform for the written words at Alliance Française de Delhi, is very happy to welcome the writer Bulbul Sharma.

Bulbul Sharma is an author and an artist. She graduated in Russian literature from Moscow State University. She has written three collections of short stories: My Sainted Aunts, The Perfect Woman and Anger of Aubergines, along with a full length novel Banana Flower Dreams. Her works have been translated into many foreign languages like Italian, French and Finnish. Another important part of her work is dedicated to children with works like Fabled Book of Gods and Demons and The Children’s Ramayana. She has been conducting art and storytelling workshops for special children for the last 15 years.

The author shares her time between writing, painting and teaching art to disabled children. She writes spontaneously at a stretch, with no rewrites, only grammar corrections, and within a couple of days her works are complete. She said in an interview: “Writing is not a cerebral process for me. When I read the critics’ interpretations, I wonder, did I really write this?”

The writer Aman Nath about Bulbul Sharma’s books: “There are creative surprises in Bulbul Sharma’s joyous works, as there is hope, aspiration, harmony & a sense of fulfillment that will flood the homes that will hang them.”

So don’t miss this occasion to be surprised by a very talented author. Watch out for Writers, etc. for forthcoming month…
