The City and the House by Natalia Ginzburg (tr. Dick Davis) The award-winning Italian writer Natalia Ginzburg has been a major discovery for me over the past six years, largely due to Daunt Books’ and NYRB Classics’ sterling work on reissuing her books. (My…

For #TranslationThurs, my thoughts on THE CITY AND THE HOUSE by Natalia Ginzburg (tr. Dick Davis).

An absorbing, emotionally truthful novel told entirely in letters, charting the complex map of relationships between a group of family & friends. #BookSky 💙📚

It's that time of week what have you been reading from around the world? #translationthurs

This #TranslationThurs am reading Mina's Matchbox by Yoko Ogawa, transl. Stephen Snyder. Feels very 19th century family saga somehow.

For those on the #TranslationThurs hashtag. #BookSky #NovNov25

The title page of Troymen un Virklikhkeyt, the Yiddish book described in the post. Beneath the title, a short poem which I have translated in the post is written in Yiddish

Working on frontmatter of Dreams and Reality by Bessarabian anarchist-assassin-poet Sholem Shvartsbard/Baal Khaloymes (the Dreamer)

When I am silent, then the heart festers.
When I speak, then anger burns.
When I think, then I feel pain.
And when I dream, then I am corpse-pale.

"We build backward into emptiness before you the overburden / in your eyes the distance no one comes back this way"
