Book cover for Nights Too Short to Dance by "icon of queer literature" Marie-Claire Blais, translated by Katia Grubisic (Second Story Press‬), with a person in a collared shirt looking pensive, under a strong pink filter. The newest winner of the Governor General’s Award for Translation. René suddenly feels like an old man. Recovering at home after an illness, his mind will not leave the past. He is both comforted and annoyed by the officious care provided by his Russian nurse, who keeps referring to him as a woman. https://secondstorypress.ca/products/nights-too-short-to-dance Book cover for El Ghourabaa: A queer and trans collection of oddities edited by Samia Marshy and Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch (Metonymy Press‬, with mountains and grazing horses, birds, sheafs of wheat, and other line drawings against a coral-red background.
