Such a fun list of books about translation—many of them translated (many of them translated/written by WWB contributors, in fact!)

“The mirrors reflect how the characters are under constant self-scrutiny, obsessing over how they look, behave, and, of course, speak.”
In WordsWithoutBorders, May Huang reviews Lau Yee-Wa’s newly translated novel, “Tongueless”- wordswithoutborders.org/book-reviews/a…

'TONGUELESS is an apt title for a novel about the politics of language, and the visceral ways in which power dynamics manifest through speech.' 🔥

Thanks WordsWithoutBorders for inviting me to review 'Tongueless' by Lau Yee-Wa, tr. Jennifer Feeley! Feminist Press wordswithoutborders.org/book-reviews/a…
