Brilliant to see Rosa Ribas's interview in today's @Guardian in print, sharing the inspiration for her new novel! 'Far' is published today by Foundry Editions, in a wonderful translation by Charlotte Coombe. Grab your copy here: foundryeditions.co.uk/store/p/far

FAR by @rosaribas63 and translated by Charlotte Coombe is publishing today. “I thought to myself, ‘Is that all the people that are living here?’. There were about three people...I thought, ‘This needs a novel’.” - @rosaribas63 foundryeditions.co.uk/store/p/far

📰Seeing these pieces in #TheGuardian (both online and in the paper) coincide with the publication day of #FAR has made me a very happy translator. 🗞️ Foundry Editions Rosa Ribas The Guardian Ella Sher instagram.com/p/C9fYFEeITXw/…

Thanks to Alex Zucker Mayada and Kira Josefsson for such a though-provoking & constructive panel yesterday for British Centre for Literary Translation. Translators are WORKERS & we must demand to be treated as such. This was a much-needed discussion, here's to many more like this, and ACTION too.✊

We’ve already mentioned in passing the shimmering love story-come-social commentary, ‘Far’, by Germany-based Spanish author Rosa Ribas; but we thought we’d reminisce in a little more detail about our favourite new holiday escape 📚🏖️ A review thread 🧵

On the first day of #womenintranslation month we want to say thank you to the women behind BRANDY SOUR, YOUR LITTLE MATTER and FAR. We are proud to say that each one of our books has been written and translated by women, and we are so grateful for the talent of these women.

With the far-right riots going on all over the country, the Government NEEDS to prioritise community cohesion. Please will you join me and email your MP now? secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/154485/ac…
