Title:	Michael Heyman: “Indian Nonsense: The Whimsical Revolution”
Description:	Dr. Heyman will present the inside story behind his anthology, The Tenth Rasa: An Anthology of Indian Nonsense Literature (Penguin, 2007). Heyman's text gathers together, for the first time in English, a representative collection of nonsense texts from seventeen Indian languages. The anthology offers a range of texts, from purposefully nonsensical holy texts to folk rhymes and traditional theater to literary nonsense resembling that of Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll, from counting rhymes to Bollywood song lyrics. Please come meet the editor, of this, the first ever anthology of Indian nonsense.
