Me holding up a copy of The Summer Book by Tove Jansson, translated by Thomas Teal - in front of a crepe myrtle tree with pink flowers. The book cover is blue, with a photo of a small island on a sunny day. Text on the cover says: “Tove Jansson was a genius. This is a marvellous, beautiful, wise novel, which is also very funny” - Philip Pullman And “With an afterword by Sophia Jansson”

69. Infinity in the Palm of her Hands by Giaconda Belli, tr Margaret Sayers Peden

We think we know the story of Adam and Eve being cast out of the Garden of Eden, but this novel asks what that life would have really been like in the early years.

When poets write novels 🥰

Pictured here: Uiesh / Somewhere by Joséphine Bacon and translated by Jessica Moore looking so snazzy wearing its new #GGBooks sticker! 🤩⁠

#Booksky💙📚 #Poetry #BooksInTranslation #IndigenousPoetry #WomenInTranslation
Against a backdrop of cedar, a hand holds up Uiesh / Somewhere by Joséphine Bacon, translated by Jessica Moore. A big sticker is above the mid line to the right declaring it to be a GGBooks Winner. The cover is of a painted treescape reflecting into water, but the reflection is a city. Across the top it reads "Uiesh / Somewhere. Poems." Across the middle it reads Dual-Language Edition in Innu-aimun and English. Across the bottom it reads "Joséphine Bacon. Translated from the French by Jessica Moore."

65. On the Calculation of Volume III by Solvej Balle, tr Sophia Hersi Smith & Jennifer Russell (read by Genevieve Gaunt)

I’m fully on the hype train.

There is at least one other person rattling around in the 18th November. That makes things both easier and more perplexing.

I'm curious about how this award takes into account the gender of the translator. Can you clarify?

Who hasn't felt the wind moving adagio above them, drawing them away from (the horrors of) life?

Image of a book cover with a nude-colored frame and in the center of the frame a hot pink grainy box. Reaching into the center box from the right is a forearm with a hand holding a gun, its fingernails painted crimson. Reaching into the center box from the left is a forearm with a hand holding multi-colored flowers. The title of the book, Springtime in the Bones, surrounds the box, and below it is the author's name, Állex Leilla. Below this are the words "Translated from the Portuguese by Amanda Sarasien."
