I keep wanting to quote Nothing at All, it’s not a novel exactly, more like a long prose poem. #translatedliterature

A special thanks to every translator carrying ideas and stories across languages to bring us each thrilling new book!" —Maaza Mengiste, author of The Shadow King

Sometimes a novella just makes me so happy and is such a pleasure to read. Yearning, intertextual, surreal. A gem! #translatedliterature

Kong’s Garden, I’ll Go On & DD’s Umbrella by Hwang Jungeun

I like to read about outsiders and people who are unable to adjust to society. Ever since reading One Hundred Shadows I’ve been hooked on Hwang Jungeun’s work. #translatedliterature

#AudioBookReview: Days at the Torunka Cafe by Satoshi Yagisawa, translated by Eric Ozawa My Review: I picked this up, and started it in audio, because I adored the author’s two books featuring the Morisaki Bookshop (Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop) and was looking forward to more of the same. But the Morisaki Bookshop turned out to have some secret sauce that the Torunka Café, at least so far, doesn’t have.

On the Calculation of Volume 3 by Solvej Balle trans. Sophia Hersi Smith and Jennifer Russell and Capitalists Must Starve by Park Seolyeon trans. Anton Hur

These are the last two books I’m buying this year! I’m going to read On the Calculation of Volume today because the last book ended on a cliffhanger. #translatedliterature

A- #BookReview: Menu of Happiness by Hisashi Kashiwai, translated by Jesse Kirkwood My Review: I fell in love with this series with the very first book, The Kamogawa Food Detectives, and now I’m utterly hooked on both the series AND the reading niche it occupies. By that, I mean the genre that was popularized by Before the Coffee Gets Cold of loosely connected slice-of-life stories centered around a cozy location that use that location and its function as a framing device to tell slightly bittersweet, often sadly fluffy stories with or without a hint of magic or magical realism.

Does anyone know where I could find a copy of
Vladimir Bogomolov's "Ivan", the Bernard Issacs translation? I'd love to have a physical copy, as I don't really care to read books on kindle.
