One of my favourite paragraphs from Blackout by Yann Chateigné Tytelman, translated from the French by me, forthcoming from @lesfugitivespress.bsky.social on 2 October. Yann's first book in English and my first full-length translation. 🌑
A paragraph from a book. The text is: The moment in scenes of violence and trauma in certain films when the sound is suddenly cut. The deaf-mute vision of a world whose intensity becomes purely visual, as though emotion had saturated the spectrum of sound, imposing its noise on the noise, rendering it imperceptible, cancelling it out. Two copies of the book BLACKOUT, by Yann Chateigné Tytelman and published by Les Fugitives, lying on a wooden table. The cover is black. The title and author name, in silver, are encircled by a solar eclipse.
