‘And the worst thing of all is that the era of the vaquero is over, sitting by the campfire and grilling meat, scraping the strings, shooting the breeze, and
reminiscing…these gringos have eaten our pigs, our cows. They’ve even eaten our memories.’ (p. 180)

La realidad me había
dado la espalda,
pero incluso su espalda sabía enamorarme.
Comencé a deambular por el metro, a caminar por calles de la ciudad, a visitar barrios que antes no me habían pertenecido,
me hice de la ciudad...🌙🚶🏻‍♂️

Ah this is so cool, the hard copy of A VERY MEXICAN CHRISTMAS with my translation of 'The Double Cat Syndrome' by @carmenboullosa has reached my doorstep.

Excited to have a translation included in this new book out today from @NewVesselPress, A Very Mexican Christmas. It's a translation of a short story by @carmenboullosa, about family, loss, loyalty and a Christmas Eve gone very, very wrong....

My first published translation is live today on @asymptotejrnl, of a short story by the brilliant and utterly original @carmenboullosa. Translation Tuesday! https://www.asymptotejournal.com/blog/2021/06/01/translation-tuesday-the-double-cat-syndrome-by-carmen-boullosa/#more-26713

Recently completed A Girl’s Story by Annie Ernaux tr. Alison L. Strayer & The Book of Anna by @carmenboullosa tr. @samanthaschnee

Really good mail day, and maybe a sign I need to stop ordering books now. Happy publication day, @carmenboullosa & translator @samanthaschnee!

Gotta love a literary award announcement that starts with "Holy shit." Congrats to @carmenboullosa & @DeepVellum on their @TypoEra win.

Sad to have missed @carmenboullosa at City Lights last night, but thrilled to hear turnout was great.
