Confessions of an Epic Indian
Ashok Banker
Monday 1 September 2008
Ashok Banker is one of the most acclaimed names in contemporary Indian literature; reworking the myths and legends of India into a genre best described as Epic Indian fiction. His internationally acclaimed and bestselling Ramayana series which began with Prince of Ayodhya (2003) is a spectacular re-telling of the ancient Sanskrit epic that blends vivid action with beautifully imagined characters, sensitivity and intense drama.
His other work extends to a major three-film adaptation of the books, an animated feature film, a comic book adaptation, and numerous other film, television, graphic novel, documentary, online, and book projects all drawing from the rich vein of Indian culture, in particular the Ramayana. In his first-ever appearance outside India, the author reads from, discusses and presents exclusive glimpses of his work on the Ramayana for various media.
