Ayathurai Santhan with Eleanor Wachtel

Today, more South Asian Conversations with three writers whose work engages, in very different ways, with the complex ethnic, linguistic, and religious realities of Sri Lanka. Eleanor speaks with S. Pathmanathan, a highly regarded Tamil translator as well as an accomplished poet, Sunethra Rajakarunanayake - probably the most famous contemporary writer working in Sinhala, and finally, Ayathurai Santhan, a highly respected writer in both Tamil and English.
