A little bit of Italian post-horror from michele orti to start your day: asymptotejournal.com/blog/2024/04/3…

A story that could take place on a Mario Bava or Dario Argento set but which packs a real emotional punch. I was very honored that he asked me to translate it! Asymptote Journal

It was an honor, a privilege and a pleasure to judge the 2024 O. Henry Prize. The 20 stories in the collection (to be published in September) are all terrific. Congratulations to the authors.

I can't say this was not what I expected as I had no expectations, but I can say it's very strangeness enthralled me from the start.

I know a lot of you want to discuss that ending.👀 If you're in the London area this is your chance!

One last thing then I'll shut up about this: Michele Mari recently debuted in English, but his story (which hasn't aged a day) was written before I was born. Now it'll be in the Best Short Stories *2024*. Great literature can have a long life, translators can ensure that it does.

As of today there is more Michele Mari out in the world. Rejoice and despair! 🎉
