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.

I'm #NowReading Tomb of Sand by #GeetanjaliShree and had to stop to google a bunch of names/titles of Partition authors. Now I have books from #KrishnaSobti and #Manto on the way. That's how #TranslatedFiction gets ya! #bookstodon #LiteratureInTranslation

"Beauty can pierce one like a pain."

From BUDDENBROOKS (1901) by #ThomasMann, tr. by Helen T. Lowe Porter.

I have an Aschenbach-like infatuation with this photo of a handsome Thomas Mann from around the time Buddenbrooks, his first novel, was published. I did two separate #PasteUps of it back in 2010.

At The White Rabbit Inn, a seedy tavern run by the ogress, or ex-con, Old Lady Ponisse, & frequented by criminals, thugs, & disreputable types, the drinks have wonderful names:

"On the wall were several glass flasks...These bottles contained adulterated pink and green liquids that went by the names of 'Perfect Love' and 'Consolation'."

I'm up for a glass of Perfect Love or Consolation.

Didn't know the film was based on BLACK SNOW: A NOVEL OF THE BEIJING DEMIMONDE by #LiuHeng. Otherwise I would have read the novel first. An added dilemma: which translation? David Kwan's (on the left) or Howard Goldblatt's?

I went with the Goldblatt translation after reading someone's convincing hatchet job of the Kwan translation. They were lukewarm about the novel too. Regardless, I began to enjoy the novel when I stopped trying to like it more than the film. [2/2]

Been here a month, so re- #introduction for the new 🌊. I'm a: doggo guardian; avid reader (💜 avant-garde/experimental and #translatedFiction); 🎶 junkie + #metalhead; #vinyl collector; sometimes #blogger; daily watcher of something #StarWars; #exEvangelical; #exAcademic in classical #Latin + #Greek poetry; and medical/science/health informatics #editor / #writer. Also, still don't know what to be when I grow up. If I could live in a secluded cabin in the mountains the rest of my life, I would.

Thumbs up to The Hobart Bookshop for their huge shelf dedicated solely to #TranslatedFiction. (Melbourne bookshops should take a leaf out of their book.)

Had to restrain myself when buying because I don't have much room for more #books in my small suitcase. And my partner gave me a death stare when I asked if he'd give me some room in his bag. So I just bought these two:

GILGI, ONE OF US by #IrmgardKeun tr. by Geoff Wilkes
