The book "Childhood, Youth, Dependency" by Tove Ditlevsen (translation by Tiina Nunnally and Michael Favala Goldman) is posed on a bookshelf in front of other translated books. The edition is the Penguin Classic with its white and teal colour scheme, and a drawing of a city with red brick buildings.
It feels like I'm not reading as much translation as I once did. This book is a great reminder to do so more often. #WomenInTranslation #booksky

Me holding up a copy of The Summer Book by Tove Jansson, translated by Thomas Teal - in front of a crepe myrtle tree with pink flowers. The book cover is blue, with a photo of a small island on a sunny day. Text on the cover says: “Tove Jansson was a genius. This is a marvellous, beautiful, wise novel, which is also very funny” - Philip Pullman And “With an afterword by Sophia Jansson”

Me holding the book up in my garden. On the cover there is a woman with curly red hair, in a renaissance painting style
Author photo taken by Photo by Ian Wagemann - she has big curly hair, similar to Eve on the book cover!
69. Infinity in the Palm of her Hands by Giaconda Belli, tr Margaret Sayers Peden
We think we know the story of Adam and Eve being cast out of the Garden of Eden, but this novel asks what that life would have really been like in the early years.
When poets write novels 🥰

Against a backdrop of cedar, a hand holds up Uiesh / Somewhere by Joséphine Bacon, translated by Jessica Moore. A big sticker is above the mid line to the right declaring it to be a GGBooks Winner. The cover is of a painted treescape reflecting into water, but the reflection is a city. Across the top it reads "Uiesh / Somewhere. Poems." Across the middle it reads Dual-Language Edition in Innu-aimun and English. Across the bottom it reads "Joséphine Bacon. Translated from the French by Jessica Moore."
Pictured here: Uiesh / Somewhere by Joséphine Bacon and translated by Jessica Moore looking so snazzy wearing its new #GGBooks sticker! 🤩

Book cover. Has a blurry picture of a tree and the logo of publisher Faber & Faber.
A very smiley author photo from The Times
65. On the Calculation of Volume III by Solvej Balle, tr Sophia Hersi Smith & Jennifer Russell (read by Genevieve Gaunt)
I’m fully on the hype train.
There is at least one other person rattling around in the 18th November. That makes things both easier and more perplexing.
