It's finally here! My first book translation, co-translated with the brilliant @samanthaschnee.bsky.social, is out today from @worldedbooks.bsky.social. I fell in love with @marianatravacio.bsky.social's writing in early 2020, and I'm so happy to share it now in English. tinyurl.com/4uvpn2jx

This comes out tomorrow!! I can't wait for everyone to finally be able to meet Lina and Relicario (and his donkey) in English. Many thanks to @literaryhub.bsky.social for the space!

I'm trying to build a feed that highlights the diverse voices in the literary world, particularly those involved in literary translation (all language combinations).
So, #literarytranslators out there, help me complete this #starterpack and let me know if you'd like to be added.
