this drawing reminds me: read Translation as Transhumance (2017) by Mireille Gansel, trans. Ros Schwartz
Gansel recalls her life as a translator as one of smuggling words, ideas, lives, across walls erected by anti-human forces. Rescuing language from history, rescuing poetry from barbed wire & bombs that target not only humans but the very idea of their humanity
Jenny Erpenbeck opens #Spring 2024 with Sloughing Off One Skin, a haunting #ShortStory that explores truth and identity, translated by Michael Hofmann.

We're on the lookout for perspectives that are currently under-represented on bookshelves in the UK and in the US, and material first written in languages other than English.
Since my dear friend @Cbarzak and I had our first novellas published about a month apart, we thought it would be fun to chat about the form and our individual approaches to it. So we did!
"Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom — poets, visionaries — realists of a larger reality."
