Stoked to talk translated lit in Iowa with @willevans.bsky.social & Bela Shayevich!
Everyone knows I owe Chad Post everything & teaming up on @openletterbooks.bsky.social & @dalkeyarchive.bsky.social brings his vision into a publishing house centered on international literature & to connect these books with readers who, like me, are starving for that elusive something MORE
Every day of my life I am grateful for readers like @theuntranslated.bsky.social who build a reading community through literature, & to madmen like @maxlawton.bsky.social & @nordicnovellas.bsky.social who bring books, foreign to me, into a language I can understand, & in turn share with the world

A Requiem

The winner is Eve Hill-Agnus' translation of Ultramarine by Mariette Navarro. Coming from @deepvellum.bsky.social
This is an award that specifically funds a translation, the book is coming in March and it looks extremely up my alley as a sea-themed spooky SFF novel.
