If you know Polish, Joanna Bator's books are very much about these kinds of haunted spaces. If you know English, you can read a lil snippet here. https://t.co/tVAG6FnFqs

So good.

Everyone's taking off their masks, but I saw a woman try to tear the plastic off a candle at ALDI with her teeth, so, uh, no thanks.

@jenniferlcroft @lithub I would literally love it if you could translate my English into better English, you luminous genius oyster. Now, off to soak in the masterclass that is your book(s).

[Jenny Croft @jenniferlcroft]

Happy U.S. pub day to Olga Tokarczuk's wonderful historical novel THE BOOKS OF JACOB. For @lithub, I wrote about how I translated each sentence of my favorite passage, on God as omnisensitive oyster: https://t.co/EGdvWn9lhS

@cctranslates @sanschaises Tackling this issue in a current text, too. I did a few chapters without "", then a wild if-I-had-my-way draft with, and ultimately, I've taken them all out again. My compromise is judicious speech tags where I feel they benefit. A solution for me, for now.

[Maggie Zebracka @zebracka]

@jenniferlcroft @FitzcarraldoEds Yes! Amazing news!

[Maggie Zebracka @zebracka]

Unbelievably exciting news. So grateful to @NEAarts for their support of my work and of Joanna Bator's incredible novel. I can't wait to see her/our words in print someday soon.

@sarabeefan I think this one came from Taylor Swift's personal flock, so it's used to people.

[Maggie Zebracka @zebracka]

Such a treat to see them in the wild before they head south for the winter.
