write themselves. Try to give equal credit to the translator in your discussions of the books.
striking? You don't need to know the original language to tell if a translation is good or not. For me, the least interesting thing about a novel is the plot. It's the language that interests me. Remember, all those words in English were chosen by the translator. They didn't

Happy Great Kentucky Meat Shower Day to all who celebrate!
Incredible books and incredible translations—you are in for a good time!

This is why in higher education you should not let your curriculum be driven by 'demand.' You need give students the precious opportunity to discover the things they don't already know they will be excited about.

This is pretty good news as I’m a fan of @adamoprice.bsky.social. The Hotel Neversink is a great book.
This guy does the “good writing” so many are taking about.
