Prakash Kona Reddy (born 1967) is an Indian novelist, essayist, poet and theorist who lives in Hyderabad, India. He was a professor of English literature at The English and Foreign Languages University (Hyderabad campus).

He writes in English, and is the author of the many books to date.

• Conjurer of Nights^[1]
• Nunc Stans [Creative Non-fiction: 2009, CROSSING CHAOS enigmatic ink, Ontario, Canada]
• Pearls of an Unstrung Necklace [Fiction: 2005, Fugue State Press, New York]^[2]
• Streets that Smell of Dying Roses^[3]

Other works, including essays^[4][5] and fictional vignettes, are published widely on the Internet.

In August 2010 Kona contributed to an eBook collection of political poems entitled Emergency Verse - Poetry in Defence of the Welfare State edited by Alan Morrison.^[6]

His fiction is highly unusual, an experimental combination of free-floating emotion and political theory that can depict, for example, a city or a love relationship in an ambiguous, flowing, non-concrete and yet highly personal and heartfelt manner.
