About Carole Satyamurti’s translation “Carole Satyamurti’s version of the Mahabharata moves swiftly and powerfully. She has found a voice that’s capable of a wide variety of expression, and a line―basically classical English blank verse with a jazz-like freedom to swing―that propels the reader effortlessly onward through the cosmic, terrifying, erotic, sublime events of this extraordinary work. I think I shall never get tired of it.” ―PHILIP PULLMAN, author of The Golden Compass
