We’re thrilled to share a new essay by @clara_drummond on heteropessimism. It’s the first piece (of many) that we’re running in two languages. Click through for Zoë Perry’s English version and the Portuguese original: astra-mag.com/articles/escap…

Looking forward to hosting this discussion, a rare chance to discuss a (beautiful!) novel with its author and translator. And the perfect way to gear up for Durham Book Festival if you're in town!

SEVASTOPOL by Emilio Fraia, translated by our own Zoë Perry, is the next title up for discussion with the Portuguese in Translation Book Club, in November.

The The Queen's Translation Exchange Slam OxfordLitFest yesterday was wonderful.

One of the best things about building translator community is getting to know your friends’/colleagues’ strengths and interests and directing editors to folks better suited to a job. Editors, stop to ask yourself if “that guy I worked with before” is really the best qualified.

Delighted that Gary picked OF CATTLE AND MEN for his excellent best of 2023 list. It's not because we're related (we're not. . . or are we?) 🐄❤️

Lovely review for our very own Roland Glasser's exciting new translation of Fiston Mwanza Mujila's "The Villain's Dance", out March 12th in the US from Deep Vellum. Still looking for a UK publisher (incredibly!). UK rights to FMM's début "Tram 83" newly available too.

Register now to join Ana Paula Maia and me to talk about Of Cattle and Men! I had a blast doing one of these last year with Emilio Fraia for Sevastopol. Ana and I didn't get to do any promotional events when the book came out, so this will be fun.
