Laughing whitely
The expression "laughing whitely"
(probably) exists only in her mother tongue. Laughter that is faint, cheerless, its cleanness easily shattered. And the face that forms it.

📚 August is Women in Translation Month.
An initiative that celebrates women writers whose works have been translated into other languages
Sharing what I am currently reading - “Human Act”.
A novel by #HanKang. Translated by #DeborahSmith 🩷 #BookSky

Just finished #GreekLessons by #HanKang and translated from #DeborahSmith and #E.Yaewon
What a touching book! In a few pages, it encompasses and conveys so many emotions... Beautiful!!!

Finished #AnneBRadge’s brilliant #BerlinPoplars & now starting #HanKang’s #TheVegetarian translated by #DeborahSmith. A few other ideas for #WomenInTranslationMonth, but we always finish the #summerholidays with #ToveJansson books which fits the brief #MoominSummerMadness #TheSummerBook #WITMonth
