1/14: 365 days. 365 #womenintranslation. Scores of languages and countries. Experiences. Writers as old as literature itself and some whose first works were only recently published. The #DailyWIT is a reading list unlike any other you're likely to encounter this year...

https://t.co/enVThaNZpd Sorry, I didn't read anything for #WITMonth for 2024! But I did read three translated books by female authors earlier this year - all in May! So here's a post about those books, instead. Thanks @Read_WIT for this yearly challenge! #Womenintranslation

[Dr Victoria Dawson @VSDawson]

Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck is a masterpiece in every way. Stifling at times, so close to the bone I actually cried, linguistically stunning, oppressive, beautiful, political yet incredibly human. Cannot recommend it enough. #WITM @Read_WIT.

[Out of the Wings @Outofthewings]

Just in time for #WITmonth @Read_WIT, these newly released titles include THE FUTURE by Helena Tornero (Catalonia) tr. Helena Buffery, and THE ANEMONE AND THE BOAR by Mónica Maffía (Argentina) tr. Sophie Stevens.

📢Today's highlight for #WITMonth is:

BELOVED by Empar Moliner
Translated from the Catalan by Laura McGloughlin

FINALLY FEELING HAPPY? WELL, WAIT FOR IT: MENOPAUSE WILL KICK IN AND ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE. OH, THE LIGHTNESS OF LIFE!

A masterpiece on how to survive heartbreak

Happy #WITMonth! When @Read_WIT started in 2014, only 31% of translated books were written by women. Things are improving: last year, that number was up by over 10%.
For the rest of August, get any 2 or more of our Women in Translation titles for 31% off!

A real shop favourite, Park Seolyeon’s A MAGICAL GIRL RETIRES (tr: Anton Hur) is an absolute delight! Beautifully illustrated throughout by Kim Sanho, it tackles serious issues such as climate change, debt and suicide whilst also being a fast paced fun adventure! #WITMonth
