[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

.@gmochkofsky writes about the Argentinian writer Selva Almada—whose books portray a country marked by repressed male violence that inevitably, and tragically, erupts—and the fate of the feminist movement her work is central to. https://t.co/E5vpz9ACb1

[Colm McKenna @MckennaColm]

I've written for the lovely @clereviewbooks about Mario Levrero's short stories (translated by @annielmcd and @dedreytnien, published by @andothertweets). So funny and weird, so disparate from his later work but still distinctly him.

"As far as he’s concerned, imagination and invention are completely different things, and he’s not interested in invention ... [a]nyone can do that."

[Jen Calleja @niewview]

Reading this right now in @annielmcd and Kit Schluter’s translations and it’s incredible, some of the best short stories I’ve ever read.

'The Thinking-About-Gladys Machine' by Mario Levrero, which I translated with the great @annielmcd, is fresh out from @andothertweets !

A towering monument to the imagination.

THE THINKING-ABOUT-GLADYS MACHINE, translated by @annielmcd and Kit Schluter, publishes today!

From dazzling single paragraph micro-fictions à la Donald Barthelme to adventurous Lewis Carroll-esque tales, this cult classic is essential reading.
