Who I Am
Fazal Rahman
Bilingual Author & Literary CriticI am Fazal Rahman, a bilingual author, literary critic, poet, and essayist working across English and Malayalam. My writing grows from a simple conviction: every story, whether in literature or cinema, carries traces of our own lives. Through essays, reviews, poetry, and cultural commentary, I explore the intersections of world literature, cultural memory, identity, and subaltern voices, with particular focus on African, Arab, Latin American, and South Asian fiction.
Across genres, my work combines critical inquiry with cultural reflection, seeking to bridge scholarly insight with accessible prose while connecting the personal with the universal. Beyond writing, I engage with readers and audiences through conversations, podcasts, and public events, continuing an ongoing dialogue about literature, cinema, stories, identities, and the worlds they reveal.
