Just read “Capitalists Must Starve” by Park Seolyeon & @antonhur.com The title & blurb led me to expect a book about a factory strike... It is an absorbing portrait of Juryong’s whole life - its hardships, how she was treated as a woman, her resilience, determination & passion. A fascinating read!

“Inner Space” is out in French! If you happen to be in Brussels you could meet the author, Jakub Szamalek, and his translator, Kamil Barbarski, at the LibreBook bookshop cafe.

Today is US publication day for Jakub Szamałek’s “Inner Space: A Novel”, a technothriller set on the International Space Station. Exciting for me as it is my first published book-length fiction translation! Exciting for readers as there are some truly gripping space-walk scenes!
