We're continuing our Freelance Solidarity Project translators solidarity drop-in, this month hosted by the one and only Adrian Minckley!
This fall I’ll be running a Peter Weiss Aesthetics of Resistance reading group through Workshops4Gaza in anticipation of the release of volume 3 by @dukepress in January. DM me to be on the mailing list and check out their site workshops4gaza.com/workshops
On 8/2 we launched a formal boycott against PEN America after months of rigorous protest in solidarity with Palestine. Join the boycott––and let PEN America know where you stand. Email template: shorturl.at/PKozK
Calling all literary translators with a sample to pitch - I'll provide a detailed line edit, suggestions for improving the pitch & for who to pitch to. $60, directly to Gaza. Non-translators, check out the many other Workshops4Gaza Palestine zindabad! workshops4gaza.com/calendar/liter…

'If I had been asked – which I wasn’t – I would have given the International Booker prize to Ia Genberg for The Details...The translation by Kira Josefsson is so good that I kept underlining passages so I could reread them later.' Thank you Mark Haddon! theguardian.com/books/article/…
