I have a video up on #TranslatorsAloud…I’m reading from my sample translation of Abel Quentin’s THE SEER OF ETAMPES…which has funding from @villa_albertine to be translated into English! The book is seeking a publisher…

Looks like my book has been accessed online almost 4000 times since it was published in late December 2023! If you are interested in #translation, #creative-critical practice and the politics of both combined this book might speak to you!👇 https://t.co/a1TqL7ESY9
