Stanley Carvalho in conversation with Damodar Mauzo

The Hindu  

Goa’s Damodar Mauzo won the 57th Jnanpith Award in November, becoming the second Konkani writer to win India’s highest literary prize. The 77-year-old writer, who spent many years running a shop, has been a part of Goa’s contemporary roller-coaster history, having fought for its Statehood and the constitutional recognition of Konkani. Winner of several awards, including the Sahitya Akademi for his 1981 novel Karmelin, Mauzo has written two other novels, short stories, essays, criticisms and an award-winning script for a Konkani film. Writers across Goa’s borders are doing an excellent job in enriching Konkani literature.
