“Such encounters with migrants, plants, macaques, dust storms, human-plant assemblages, and angels in Delhi can lead conventional conversations about Indian English literature astray, composting and remaking it anew.” – Amit R. Baishya worldliteraturetoday.org/2025/may/int...

The May issue is out, with a cover feature on Delhi + Laila Lalami, Marie Lundquist, Katie Goh, visits to Tashkent & Xalapa, reading trends in Iran, 30 book reviews, and more. Check out the contents here: worldliteraturetoday.org/2025/may.

“Given the multispecies theme of this issue’s Delhi cover feature, I got to wondering: How often do plants and animals appear in WLT?” Daniel Simons’s editor’s note is a great place to begin the May issue. worldliteraturetoday.org/2025/may/edi...

The MLA leadership has prevented member discussion and voting on a BDS resolution. we cannot allow our professional organizations to become antidemocratic. They must be vehicles of collective representation, a way to collect and amplify our voices. Otherwise, why even have an MLA?
