White cover of the Jรณn Kalman Stefรกnsson bรณk 'Heaven and Hell' with a line drawing of a blue and grey fish coming up out of the water
This book is beautiful, lyrical & rather melancholy, enjoyed isn't quite the right word for it but I really did. Poetry can kill & a book can be a heavy burden to bear, and yet might save your life as effectively as the right clothing. 5๐ Books 2 & 3 on my #TBR now! #Iceland #FictionInTranslation ๐๐

Jacky Collins, aka Dr Noir, in brilliant conversation with Catalan author and translator Teresa Solana. The Lost in Translation panel obviously struck a chord with its totally engaged audience, as sales of the 3 authors present's books were the greatest of any event at that venue this year! It was also great to meet @vikingporridge.bsky.social, thanks to a shared appreciation of Dr Noir's skillful aplomb in her role of chair!
Very interesting fact from the 'Lost In Translation' panel at #GraniteNoir: @teresasolanawriter.bsky.social revealed #FictionInTranslation in the UK is just 3% of books, but elsewhere in Europe 70% ๐ฒ @jackycnoir64.bsky.social affirmed the importance of experiencing other cultures thru our reading ๐๐
