Elected officials can have been found to perpetuate war crimes. Read a book

Nešťastné rozhodnutí ICC oslabuje autoritu v jiných případech, když dává na stejnou úroveň zvolené představitele demokratického státu a předáky islamistické teroristické organizace.

Integrity and conviction 🧡

I have written to the @gillerprize to request that my name, image and work be removed entirely from the their website and all related material and videos. My work will no longer be submitted. I thank them in advance for respecting my wishes.

🫶🫶🫶 Also as a booksellers and book workers we can do SO MUCH to support authors opposing genocide when it’s not politically safe to do so. 💓

[Alycia Pirmohamed @a_pirmohamed]

I'm an author & a book worker. I now see my art & labour as an active way to make change, not only a passive means of raising awareness

Yesterday we launched the largest cultural boycott of complicit Israeli institutions in history. Sign, but also consider organising with us! 💖

[yara rodrigues fowler @yazzarf]

Does this mean we can stop pretending 'good writing' means political disavowal and performed ambivalence

[Tilted Axis @TiltedAxisPress]

Less than 24 hours left to support our crowdfunder.

Help us reach at least 15k so we can keep publishing translated literature from the global majority.

Hear from Dr. Anandi Rao, lecturer in South Asian studies at SOAS on why she loves TAP.

[Palestine Festival of Literature @PalFest]

BREAKING: Today, more than 1000 authors are launching a mass boycott of Israeli publishers who are complicit in the dispossession of the Palestinian people.

This declaration amounts to the largest cultural boycott of Israeli institutions in history.

Congratulations to Han Kang for winning the Nobel Prize for Literature!

We'd also like to extend praise to translators Deborah Smith (@videshi_beti) and e. yaewon who have brought her work to the anglophone world.

This is a huge win for translated fiction. 🏆

[Jen Calleja @niewview]

✨ As always, make sure you also celebrate the translators! Han Kang was crafted into English by @videshi_beti @p_niyahmorris & Emily Yae Won ✨

"The idea of art as apolitical seeks to protect product over people..." @uncanny_eli brilliantly connects the dots between anti-trans publishing trends, FFB backlash and who benefits from the insistence that art is separate from politics. https://t.co/XahDJbgb1n

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Literature is awarded to the South Korean author Han Kang “for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.”

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

I wrote about the many ways that Israel has made trauma a weapon of war.

About how this exploitation betrays the victims of the past.

And creates many more victims in the present.

It was hard to write. It will be hard to read.

I hope it helps. https://t.co/ENQLh35YFw

Edward Said passed away 21 years ago. He is much loved and missed.
I wrote this poem after him, after Out of Place, years ago.
It’s true today for me more than any time before.
We are always forced out of place but we will remain.
This is a photo of Edward that my dear friend Kathy shared with me. I’m not sure if it’s been shared before.

Reading weather has begun and I read with abundance. I enjoyed reading Balle, Mukasonga, Chee, Butler and of course Nettel the most

[tender volatile fricative @telkosaurus]

Here she is

[tender volatile fricative @telkosaurus]

OMFG!!! Thank you so much @FitzcarraldoEds is publishing new Guadalupe Nettel in April 2025. I have hand sold Still Born to so many people who absolutely loved it so this is going to be my publishing event of 2025.

[tender volatile fricative @telkosaurus]

Late to the party but oh wow 🤍

[tender volatile fricative @telkosaurus]

One of my top reads of 2024 💛

[Footnote Press @WeAreFootnote]

We’ve tried, but we cannot stay cool about this. SJP reading Yasmin Zaher’s The Coin is the most perfect NYC pairing. Consider our years made 💛
