☕️ Happy pub day to THE HEALING SEASON OF POTTERY by Yeon Somin, translated by Clare Richards! ☕️ After the worst year of her life, Jungmin knows something has to change. But she never expected to find the answer— and a way out of her messy life—in a cozy pottery studio.⁣

@atatelewis Congrats dear!!! 🥳

[Heather Christle @heatherchristle]

What if all at once I told you galleys are here and I adore this cover by Eleanor Taylor beyond reason and that these blurbs from beauties Jessamine Chan and Kaveh Akbar made me cry thankful tears? Too much? That’s okay, I will just go do hurricane things.

I think too often about the time I indirectly revealed at a dinner party that I thought Brita filters sensed the quality of the water and ticked their timers down accordingly, faster if the water is - dirtier? Mineral-ier? …cloudier? - and the shame hits every time

Thank you to the @ChicagoManual for the encouragement! Translators are the people who choose every word you read when you’re reading a translation. Why not celebrate, or at least acknowledge, that?

[Madeline Jones @MadelineCJones]

A taste of @melena_moran 's novel here, about three brilliant, magnetic women rebuilding their family and their relationships with each other in the wake of the crisis in Venezuela. The full translation is on the way!
Thank you @worldlittoday !

And what a book it is... I can't wait to be able to share this wonder that @heatherchristle has crafted, despite untold challenges. Reading Heather's sentences changes the way you see the world. Everything suddenly sparkles a little bit, I swear!

[Heather Christle @heatherchristle]

In light of everything this bit of news is small, but it comes on a day when I am beginning another phase of hospitalization, and I wanted to take a moment to step outside of this strange medical atmosphere to say proudly that this book is, at long last, officially on its way!

⭐️ STARRED @ALA_Booklist review for my translation of YOUR UTOPIA by Bora Chung! I am a “brilliant Korean-to-English cipher” 😭💜🤖 https://t.co/LkDrsbkX3V @AlgonquinBooks @honfordstar

"An accessible guide to anti-capitalist and pro-socialist politics, it doubles as something of a therapeutic cleanse to help readers get over the worst long term relationship most people will ever have.” YES. @MattPolProf @MalaikaJabali @AlgonquinBooks

[Current Affairs @curaffairs]

It’s Not You, It’s Capitalism is a very funny and lucid introduction to anti-capitalist politics that doubles as the book debut of a fresh voice in American socialist circles. https://t.co/Mp32QaVKDE

Coming Fall 2024!! I can’t wait for all of my pottery-obsessed friends to read this 🙌🏼 ⁦@clarehannahmary⁩ ⁦@AlgonquinBooks⁩
