I don't read a lot of American fiction in translation, but Ponciá Vicencio by Conceição Evaristo springs to mind.

ChasingOm Oh wow, that sounds beautiful. 😍 4y

Pickpick

A very short, lyrical novel by an author who is Black, female, and Brazilian. I've never read anything like this. At places felt like Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man in style. Follows a young woman and her family as they move from rural Brazil to the city. Mental health themes and interesting intro to some Afro-Brazilian religious concepts.

Dilara Thank you for the rec. I had never heard of this book before, and it sounds fascinating! I've just checked and my library has a copy. I'll just have to wait until it opens again after the lockdown... 4y
ErinSBecker @Dilara hope you enjoy! I got my copy on thriftbooks for about $4. 😁 4y
