This Saturday, I'm going to polar plunge and read a very personal essay-translation that I've secretly worked on for ten years!

ALTA translators and Milwaukee folks come through! I'm [terrified but also] genuinely excited to hear every person in this lineup.

3\ Refaat's words were always so powerful, poignant & spot on. Listen carefully to this interview he did in the first weeks of the war.

@ggraham maybe some chilean or cambodian newspapers would have some positive coverage?

YES

Wrote about Katrina Dodgson’s rollicking and inventive translation of Mario de Andrade’s classic Macunaíma; many thanks to @zerkperkem for his editorial fangs & CRB for publishing it

[Cleveland Review of Books @clereviewbooks]

"If the act of translation is often reduced to a dichotomy of foreignization and domestication, Dodson’s work is an interrogation: of national identity, of what constitutes the foreign and domestic in the first place."

v excited, and a little bit shy, to have one of my favorite José J. Veiga stories, about a professor staging a protest at the bottom of a well, featured in LALT. Veiga is a treasure, plz give him a read!

[LatAmLitToday @LatAmLitToday]

“We returned home with our heads lowered, feeling ourselves vilely tricked…”
