I'm trying to build a feed that highlights the diverse voices in the literary world, particularly those involved in literary translation (all language combinations).
So, #literarytranslators out there, help me complete this #starterpack and let me know if you'd like to be added.

La disinformazione nell'era dei social media: dal consenso al tribalismo - Valigia Blu
La difesa della “verità” appare stantia. Forse stiamo guardando dalla parte sbagliata? Il vero nodo non sono le bugie, ma la performatività con cui social e TV riscrivono la realtà. I media non si lim...

I just finished translating Lily Hoang’s A Bestiary. A book I’ve wanted to publish since 2018. I first came across it by chance, near a book swap, as happens with the best reads. It’s a book that turns pain into a poetic meditation on the complexity of modern life. Can’t wait to see it out in Italy.

Back from the Chennai Book Fair, and what a revelation the Tamil language has been, where letters are soul and body (uyir and mei), forming "embodied letters" (uyirmei). It was a beautiful encounter with a different way of dwelling in words.

Gregory Day's "The Bell of the World" (Transit Lounge, 2023) interrogates spatial phenomenology through a polyvocal narrative, mapping embodied consciousness against the Australian landscape's transitional topographies. Formal fragmentation enacts phenomenological rupture and regeneration.

In the past two years alone I have translated 13 novels, all by terrific authors. But while completing Carolina Bello's El resto del mundo rima, I truly felt like a literary translator for the first time. I focused entirely on the text, setting aside concerns about my or the author's (amazing) voice

Deepak Unnikrishnan's Temporary People (Restless Books) skillfully deconstructs migrant labor through magical realism, transforming linguistic boundaries into a radical map of displacement and bureaucratic erasure. Its innovative narrative challenges conventional immigrant stories. #JustRead

Mohabir's "Antiman" (Restless Books, 2021) brilliantly deploys translingual poetics to theorize diasporic queerness, challenging Western memoir conventions through strategic code-switching & formal hybridity. A masterclass in decolonial life writing. #JustRead

The thing about pre-orders: If you pre-order thru an indie bookstore (which generally doesn't cost you up-front!) it is HUGE for the lifeblood of the book, it is a boost to authors, the publisher, and the booksellers who steward this life. It's a little thing but it's meaningful should this inspire!
