Welcome to Litsy!

Too much and too wordy for right now.

So first post back is gonna be about how August is women in translation month! Is anyone else joining in? I thought I‘d share these two translated works from my viragos. Lots of you are loving Achilles and Circe atm so I thought I‘d showcase these translated works about women from the Greek myths. I‘m hoping I will get to these this month. #vmc #womenintranslation #witmonth

This is the best book I've read this year. A philosophical examination of gender, power, art and war, translated from Christa Wolf's German. She tells Cassandra's story in a stream-of-consciousness narration that explores the ironies of the Trojan War from the viewpoint of the woman who saw it all coming, but thanks to a curse from Apollo, was not believed.

i am in my childhood bedroom for the holiday weekend, and LO: the few books my parents kept from my pre-college collection. a snapshot of my teenage mental life (we all went thru a Rand phase, right?)
