The Travelling Cat Chronicles | Hiro Arikawa

Hey #foodandlit friends! The August buddy read for Japan is on sale now! This sounds super cute and will also work for Women in Translation month if you like to double up on those challenges.

ReadingEnvy

Homesick | Jennifer Croft

pick

I thought it would be interesting to change it up for #WITmonth and read an award-winning translator's memoir. I will call it memoir adjacent, because she calls the girl named after her a different name, and uses photography taken by others but credited to the protagonist, but many other details come from her life.↘️

ReadingEnvy This is not a translated work, but it was written first in Spanish. From her website: "The book was written in Spanish first, as a novel called Serpientes y escaleras, and then as a memoir in English, called Homesick. Neither the Spanish nor the English is a translation." Fascinating. 1y

ReadingEnvy I loved the story of the sisters, the obsession with language, the use of brief entries and many photographs to tell this story. I wished for more of the author, as it felt in some ways that renaming and the form were keeping us at arms' length. It's pretty impressive that Jennifer Croft translates from Polish, Russian, and Spanish. She is this month's MVP. 1y

Centique How incredible to write it seperately as a novel and then a memoir in different languages. It would be so interesting to read both and compare. What amazing talent 🙌 1y

Butterfinger I just finished reading Joy Harjo Crazy Brave for Indigenous American. Amaahzing!!!

Crazy Brave

Butterfinger I have another memoir I recently read that could be for west Africa. It was brilliant.

Stolen Lives: My Family's Twenty-Year Struggle in a Desert Jail

Butterfinger Probably north Africa. It happened in Morocco. 2y

Butterfinger I Am Malala for Middle Eastern. I plan to read this month. 2y

night_shift @Butterfinger what was Crazy Brave translated from? It sounds interesting! Not digging some of the reviews for Stolen Lives, but that is translated from French.. so, maybe! 2y

Butterfinger Sorry. It is written in English. Zitkala translated old myths into English. I don't remember what tribe she was. Or even a title, just her name. 2y

Bingo Love | Tee Franklin

I got a Bingo! @TheAromaofBooks is probably tired of all my posts today to play catch up but I still have one more after this!😁

This is also my monthly recap because my guy will be home from work soon & it's his birthday.
10 books this month!
2 for #womenintranslation #witmonth
2 for #netgalleyreviewathon - I got to 78% so my next book reviewed (if I'm a good girl) gets me over 80%.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Awesome progress!!! 2y

Bonjour Tristesse: And, a Certain Smile. Franoise Sagan | Fran�oise Sagan

pick

🌟🌟🌟🌟 After years in convent school, 17 year old Cecile has become extremely comfortable living her life alongside her playboy father, filling their time with drinking, smoking, and an abundance of frivolous conversations with his friends & rotation of pretty but insipid gal pals. When her father invites Anne on their vacation, Cecile feels her breezy way of life beginning to change. What lengths will she go to to avoid change? ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick ⬆️Cecile is melancholy & melodramatic, but most teenagers are. I remember how the slight mention of moving felt like my world was going to end. Another star on my #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks and a #witmonth #womenintranslation selection. 2y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2y

La Bastarda | Trifonia Melibea Obono

pick

An amazing, eye-opening novella about a lesbian teen, Okomo, an orphan who lives with her grandparents in a traditional Fang settlement in Equatorial Guinea. Despite the odds being against her—same sex love is reviled by the villagers, and her family expects Okomo to bring them dowry wealth by attracting a husband—this story has a happy ending. #Translation from Spanish by Lawrence Schimel. #WITmonth #LGBTQ
