Firing up my next fiction book. A short one but looks a good one.

Very excited about this new arrival: my translation of Carag's Transformation, the first in Katja Brandis's Woodwalkers series, illustrated by Claudia Carls. I just love the way it catches the light! From Arctis Books USA soon...

Finished #WhenISingMountainsDance by #IreneSolá. Mythic, fragmentary, and place-based, it reminded me of #PrimevalAndOtherTimes by #OlgaTokarczuk. I recommend both (and welcome suggestions for other short #BooksInTranslation to add to my list.)
