I still haven't been using Twitter, but I haven't posted much here either.

Today I read a review of this book by András Visky (Hungarian writer). After László Krasznahorkai won the Nobel Prize in Literature, I hope more translations from Hungarian into languages close to mine will follow.

This was my desk some years ago. We sold that house, I've sold some of those books. I've even tried to sell my soul...

One of my reading goals in life is to be able to (re)read Homer in Greek — at least side by side with a translation. This Homeric Dictionary is a nice book around the project.

I did not know what to post as my first post but I saw this text about a literature prize dedicated to fiction in translation (in Sweden).

Two great novels I've read, by Lucy Ellmann and Mohamed Mbougar Sarr. I'll have to read the others.
