#womenintranslation

My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Kabi Nagata (trans by Jocelyne Allen) So much exploration into her own insecurities. I loved the way she looked at mental illness, body confidence, sexual inexperience, intimacy issues, social & sexual anxiety, her issues with communication, the internal monologue playing in her head, the lack of decent sex education, & so much more

This month we are heading to Angola. We are joined by Laura (Reading in Bed) to talk about the BTBA 2019 longlisted book Transparent City by Ondjaki (translated by Stephen Henighan)

The Little Girl on the Ice Floe by Adelaïde Bon (translated by Tina Kover), this memoir was the most painful book I‘ve ever had to read, both in a good and a bad way.

5 stars, everyone needs to read this.

Episode 13 is here! Out by Natsuo Kirino (translated by Stephen Snyder) #womenintranslation

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.

#WomenInTranslation #TranslatedLiterature

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.

#TranslatedLiterature #WomenInTranslation

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.
