Appreciation Note – Stockholm Writer’s Festival Feature
We celebrate the remarkable journey of The Asian Carnage by Saurabh Pant as it takes a well-deserved place on the global stage at the Stockholm Writer’s Festival.
This powerful collection is more than poetry—it is a chronicle of truth, pain, resilience, and the unspoken voices of Asia’s landscapes and people.
Through vivid imagery and uncompromising honesty, Saurabh Pant transforms the harsh realities of war, displacement, and ecological loss into verses that echo far beyond borders.
His words bridge the distance between headlines and human hearts, reminding us that literature has the power not only to document history but to stir compassion and inspire action.
The Stockholm Writer’s Festival honors not just a book, but a voice committed to unveiling the unseen and preserving the dignity of those who endure in silence.
We commend The Asian Carnage for carrying the stories of many to an audience of the world—and we applaud Saurabh Pant for using his gift to keep the flame of empathy and awareness alive.
The author is deeply grateful to literary commentators and the festival's main committee, happy to read everyone.
