Best International Booker longlist in a while! SOLENOID!!!

Vocês já sabem que vou estar em São Paulo em outubro? Preciso de dicas de livrarias chiques.

Água Viva now has competition as my favourite Lispector. This was absolutely incredible. I’ve underlined pretty much every line.

Loved this. Complex, propulsive, deliciously sordid. Morante’s "dark symphony" confronts the ways in which, through delusion, fantasy and deceit, we fashion ourselves and each other. In LIES AND SORCERY, imagination is an essential, yet treacherous, mode of survival.

Thrilled to announce that we have not just one but two books longlisted for the Dublin Literary Prize!

Congratulations to Morgan Talty, author of FIRE EXIT, and to Lutz Seiler and @tesslewis.bsky.social for STAR 111!

Can’t quite believe it’s that time of the year again, but here are my top reads (in English) of 2024. Lots of great stuff from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social, @dauntbookspub.bsky.social, @picadorbooks.bsky.social, @faberbooks.bsky.social, @prototypepubs.bsky.social, amongst others.

Obcecado com este livro.

Lisbon/Évora book haul

😮‍💨

Descobri uma livraria incrível em Évora e sim a conta bancária sofreu muito.

Juro, vou voltar pra Londres super pobre.

Este livro é uma loucura. Não faz sentido nenhum mas é lindo.

How to resist? (I didn’t)

Obrigado! ☺️

I’m going in, comrades.

Currently reading the latest Virginie Despentes, DEAR DICKHEAD, and it’s quite the ride. Wild but also surprisingly gentle and empathetic. Another great translation from @terribleman.com too.

“Não dou pão a ninguém, só sei dar umas palavras. E dói ser tão pobre.”

Acabei de descobrir o restaurante das passivas.

A privilege to be working on this AMAZING book. Seriously awesome synergy between translator and writer. Not out until April, but one to add to your wishlists now.

Current read in Portuguese, comrades.

About halfway through this from Pol Guasch and it’s truly exceptional. A little like reading Lispector.
