Enjoyed this immensely. Such a sensual, subtle book. Beautifully puzzling at times, and the language always up to something. I am embarrassed to say that I fell slightly in love with Xavier. Awful man.
From @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social of course, Peckham's finest.

It has been such a great honour to be one of Krasznahorkai's interpreters into English (since 2008), along with George Szirtes and John Batki. I also have to mention the visionary New Directions and my beyond stellar editor Declan Spring 🧡

It’s publication day for The Penguin Book of Polish Short Stories. It took 39 authors 100 years to write, and me about 4 years to compile and translate, with the help of 11 other translators. It aims to show the variety and brilliance of modern Polish literature.

Patrick Duffy is a new writer I got to work with on my @faberacademy.bsky.social Writing Fiction course a while ago. A really interesting writer. This is a great short piece of his currently available to read on oxonianreview.com. I think he also has something in the new @gutter.bsky.social
