so pleasingly plump.

I‘m case you need to know, The Warwick Prize for Women in Translation longlist has been announced. Loads here I haven‘t heard of. Any thoughts?

I‘ve read Tomb of Sand ❤️, Books of Jacob 📚, and Planet of Clay 😱😭 (worthy of being on the list but I can‘t say I enjoyed it). I think I have the Book of Mother on my Kobo somewhere. Any others I should dive into?

#warwickprize #wit

Simona I loved The Book of Mother, but my advice would be to reread The Books of Jacob because it is far better than the rest on the list 😘 3y

julesG I know which one I'm going to add to my TBR. 😁 I might even read it in German

Slime: A Natural History

BarbaraBB I liked the Book of Mother too as well as Three Summers but both are not really unforgettable if you ask me! 3y

rockpools @Simona 😂😂 That might be a plan! I was going to ask if you wanted to predict a winner from this little lot, but I think I know the answer 😘 3y

rockpools @julesG It absolutely stands out, doesn‘t it? 3y

rockpools @BarbaraBB Hmm. Interesting. Planet of Clay *was* unforgettable, but very very difficult in every which way. I‘ll give Mother a go. 3y

Simona You know that Jacob is the winner 😘 3y

Alberta & Freedom | Cora Sandel

pick

I was blown away by this autobiographical novel set in Paris in the early 20th century. The writing is so strong, so evocative, and Alberta is a singular character. She‘s clear about what she rejects, which is pretty much everything expected of her gender & class. What she doesn‘t know is exactly how to move forward creatively, but she‘s determined to figure that out. A beautiful translation from Norwegian by Elizabeth Rokken. #WIT

Alberta and Freedom (Revised) | Cora Sandel

pick

Book 2 of the Alberta trilogy is a heartbreaker. Alberta, her parents now dead, has moved to Paris. She leads an aimless life, fraternizing with artists, staying in seedy lodgings, scribbling on scraps of paper but unable to write in a dedicated way. But what does freedom mean? Is not doing a kind of freedom, especially for a woman? Frustrating and yet powerful too.

merelybookish I forgot to add this fits for #wit month and for the year 1931 of the #192025 challenge. @Librarybelle 3y

Librarybelle Frustrating and powerful…good description! 3y

Goblin Girl | Moa Romanova

pick

Moa Romanova‘s graphic memoir about living with depression and an anxiety disorder is moving and even funny. She‘s young and lives in a rundown apartment in Gothenberg, Sweden, with unreliable water. The clutter & garbage pictured everywhere seem to reflect her mental struggle. But she finds hope & help from unlikely quarters. The art is unusual and striking; with minimal text. #Translation by Melissa Bowers. #WIT #comics
