Wikipedia description:
David George Rubin (March 27, 1924 – February 2, 2008) was an American novelist and translator. He is most well known for his translations of the Indian novelist and essayist Munshi Premchand and the Indian poet and novelist Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala'. Rubin served in World War II as a cryptographer. He spent a large portion of his career at Sarah Lawrence College. His first novel, The Greater Darkness, published in 1963, won the British Authors’ Club award for that year's best first novel. Rubin died on February 2, 2008, from a stroke. He was 83 years old. A large portion of his estate was donated to charities, and his body of work is currently being digitally archived and published in e-books.
