Anna Muenchrath and I are organizing an ACLA seminar on Literary Translation and Its Institutions. If you’re a translator or scholar of translation, we’d love to have you join us!

I (somewhat miraculously) finished a piece of writing sooner than expected. Should I:

1) Take the rest of the day off?
2) Grade?
3) Read Schattenfroh cover-to-cover?*

I have a tentative hugo ballot (subject to infinite tweaking still), and I decided to have a chat about it in writing: readerofelse.wordpress.com/2025/02/20/h...

Thrilled to reveal the cover for @thomasha.bsky.social's astonishingly original debut UNCERTAIN SONS. Cover art by Ove Tøpfer. Design by Vince Haig. Foreword by @megapolisomancy.bsky.social. Praise from Kelly Link. Importantly, pre-orders open now. Get in!

I had a lot of fun thinking through the first two volumes of Solvej Balle’s On the Calculation of Volume over at @ancillaryreview.bsky.social

Happy new year from the ARB! We asked our contributors for their most interesting reads of 2024; here's 17 you should have on your radar:

One last year-end boost: some people are devoted to Thomas Ligotti's work because it reflects their all-encompassing pessimism. That's how I feel about the doubt and anxious uncertainty saturating Brian Evenson's work. I wrote about Good Night, Sleep Tight, for the Los Angeles Review of Books.

I wrote a thing about one of my favorite weird writers, Antoine Volodine, over at @ancillaryreview.bsky.social
