Seagull Books is a publishing venture begun in Kolkata in 1982 by Naveen Kishore, a theater practitioner.[1] It began primarily as a response to the growing need for an Indian publishing house for theater and the other arts and since then it has expanded its operations to include translations of world literature as well as twentieth- and twenty-first-century critical theory and non-fiction.[2] At present, the company has registered divisions in London and New York City alongside its initial establishment in Kolkata (Calcutta).[3]
