You can read Djamel Bouchenaki's novel now! minorliteratures.com/2026/02/12/la-… But if you're still practicing your French grammar, don't worry.

"This was where we put people we wanted to forget, in places beyond time, beyond space; places where the senses were suspended, that rested on the periphery, the margins ..." Rest Home — Djamel Bouchenaki (tr. Jordan Barger) minorliteratures.com/2026/02/12/res…

Rilke read these Scandinavian «Russian» writers: Herman Bang, August Strindberg, Knut Hamsun, and Sigbjørn Obstfelder. He was most occupied with the poetry of the latter.

"Ah, I think I see him in the closet. Yeah, there he is. His hiding place was actually really good this time, only thing that gave him away was cracking the door to breathe." (original French below) Rest Home —Djamel Bouchenaki (tr. Jordan Barger ) minorliteratures.com/2026/02/12/res…
