  1. BEAUTIFULLY AUSTERE, ELEGANT novel about love and memory and the impossibility of recapturing the past rings with echoes of 20th-century Portugal. Stunning translation sets off a real gem for English-language readers. A MINUS

  2. "The idea that the need for language and translation will be eradicated with immediate machine equivalencies is as ridiculous as the idea that our differences as a species will be similarly eradicated. Language is just the symptom, not the cause, it is our differences made manifest. In the end, these differences cannot be eradicated, they cannot be killed, or flattened, or simplified, or ignored, or hacked, only translated. And lucky for you, we are still here to do that."

  3. A new favourite author/book: Danish writer Solvej Balle and her On The Calculation of Volume, a literary fiction novel in 7 parts about a woman stuck in the same day, the 18th of November. I just finished the 2nd part and now have to wait for the next two to be released in English...on November 18. :ablobdundundun: Highly recommend, especially if you're currently having an existential crisis, lol.

  8. Aww, sad to hear #DubravkaUgrešić died a couple weeks ago. She's one of those authors where after reading just one book I add all their other work to my TBR list. #bookstodon #LiteratureInTranslation #TranslatedFiction
