Currently in a pub for an introverts' book club. Grab a pint, pick a seat, and read in silence for an hour

Caught up on some Portuguese in Translation novels last week. The chats with authors and translators through the Portuguese in Translation have been really great experiences.

Itamar Vieira Junior’s latest novel Salvar o Fogo just arrived, ordered following Portuguese in Translation’s discussion of Torto Arado/Crooked Plow last week. 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
Do love a bit of wider reading.
Will report back!

Obrigada, Portuguese in Translation for an insightful and moving discussion on And Other Stories ‘Now & at the hour of our death’ with Susana Moreira Marques & Julia Sanches. This book is a beautiful rumination on life & death.

Wonderful Portuguese in Translation tonight. Obrigada to @gabrielaruiv leo et al for hosting, & to author Itamar Vieira Junior & tr. Johnny Lorenz. I have a whole new love for ‘Crooked Plow’ after hearing the writers speak about it so passionately #portugueseintranslation 🇧🇷 📚
