BTBA

Supporting International fiction and poetry

[BTBA @BTBA_]

@stujallen @open_letter Not sure what's out of print and what's not, but maybe some discussion during the year will kick some publishers into action?

@saradgore It's going to be wicked interesting looking at not just the winners, but the rest of the lists, and what translation looked like those years.

At long last, information about BTBA 2021--the "tournament of BTBA champions." (Also a bit of info about BTBA 2022 . . . ) https://t.co/C3NN6hMLOE

@danielhahn02 @chadwpost @open_letter You set the tack and we got moving swiftly. Thanks for being part of the team!

[BTBA @BTBA_]

@saradgore That's part of the thinking! There's no way you're alone in this.

@akasiaisakasia Oh, we'll be in touch

[Damian Kelleher @damiankelleher]

This is very good

The @BTBA_ is taking a sort of hiatus in 2021 and instead spending the entire year looking back at the 25 winners to date, the shortlists, and the general trends in translation that have taken place over the past 13 years. https://t.co/kj7D5Ccao3

Good Will Come From the Sea by Christos Ikonomou, tr. Karen Emmerich is a devastating and yet darkly funny collection of four linked stories of 21st-century Greece. I just couldn’t shake off this urgent and profound book— @BTBA_ #intranslation @archipelagobks

[Ron Restrepo @Drhr90]

The warning comes early: lists “become salvos, each name a shot, the air trembles and shakes with the gunfire.” A worthy ⁦@BTBA_⁩ winner from ⁦@NewDirections⁩ for #TranslationThursday!

This list is amazing! A few familiar names from years past, but a hell of a lot new to us!

"Doomi Golo," the first novel ever written in Wolof, is from @msupress. I said a little bit about it here for @BTBA_ one year: https://t.co/qhXpaL1uoQ

I ❤️ that everyone's sharing Keene's "Translating Poetry, Translating Blackness," but the fact we keep sharing that 1 essay shows how lacking translation studies has been in engaging w/Blackness, how few Black TS scholars there are in US/UK, & how we privilege only a few of them.

@NYPL cardholders can borrow Celia Hawkesworth's translation of EEG as an ebook: https://t.co/oChyonNnuU
