The Years by Annie Ernaux (translated by Alison L. Strayer) This feels very much like a memoir but I‘m glad it is nominated for the Man Booker International prize so more people can experience Annie Ernaux.

The Faculty of Dreams by Sara Stridsberg (translated by Deborah Bragan-Turner) Love this book, I hate men…well people, so I enjoyed learning about Valerie Solanas.

Hopscotch by Julio Cortázar (translated by Gregory Rabassa). I finished this a while ago, and I am still trying to work out what the hell I just read.

#TranslatedLiterature

Out today: A Devil Comes to Town by Paolo Maurensig (translated by Anne Milano Appel), in a small town where everyone has ambitions to be a writer, the devil comes to town disguised as a publisher. This is my kind of book, a dark comedy with literary references.

Highly recommend Disoriental by Négar Djavadi (translated by Tina A. Kover)

There has not been a day go by where I haven't thought about Sphinx by Anne Garréta (translated by Emma Ramadan). It is just that good.

Kindle sale for 2.99 USD. #Arabicliterature #translatedliterature I loved this but just be aware - it‘s NOT a retelling of Shelley‘s Frankenstein. Not at all.

Episode 5 is now out. My wife, sister-in-law and I talk about the first novel by an Equatorial Guinean woman to be translated into English with La Bastarda by Trifonia Melibea Obono (translated by Lawrence Schimel) from Feminist Press
