This is a brilliant essay about NDiaye's The Cheffe (Alfred A. Knopf), translated by Jordan Stump. Marcel Inhoff offers insight into her work beyond that book too!

The Why This Book Should Win (WTBSW) posts go back years. They may be an incomplete record of our history, but there are tons of them. If you ever need find an incredible book to read, one of these writers will give you something. rochester.edu/College/transl…

The 2020 BTBA winners have been announced! Congrats to Celia Hawkesworth on winning the fiction prize for Daša Drndić's EEG (New Directions), and to Sarah Riggs on winning the poetry prize for Etel Adnan's TIME (Nightboat Books)! themillions.com/2020/05/and-th…

I ❤️ that everyone's sharing Keene's "Translating Poetry, Translating Blackness," but the fact we keep sharing that 1 essay shows how lacking translation studies has been in engaging w/Blackness, how few Black TS scholars there are in US/UK, & how we privilege only a few of them.

"Doomi Golo," the first novel ever written in Wolof, is from MSU Press. I said a little bit about it here for BTBA one year: rochester.edu/College/transl…

This list is amazing! A few familiar names from years past, but a hell of a lot new to us!

The warning comes early: lists “become salvos, each name a shot, the air trembles and shakes with the gunfire.” A worthy ⁦BTBA⁩ winner from ⁦New Directions⁩ for #TranslationThursday!

Good Will Come From the Sea by Christos Ikonomou, tr. Karen Emmerich is a devastating and yet darkly funny collection of four linked stories of 21st-century Greece. I just couldn’t shake off this urgent and profound book— BTBA #intranslation Archipelago Books

At long last, information about BTBA 2021--the "tournament of BTBA champions." (Also a bit of info about BTBA 2022 . . . ) rochester.edu/College/transl…

The BTBA is taking a sort of hiatus in 2021 and instead spending the entire year looking back at the 25 winners to date, the shortlists, and the general trends in translation that have taken place over the past 13 years. rochester.edu/College/transl…

This is very good
