I don't usually talk about personal things here, but I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Frank Wynne @Terribleman for his kindness over the years. I had to stop translating this wonderful book because many awful things had happened in my life: my parents died, THREAD 🧵
Congratulations to Frank Wynne @Terribleman
for winning the French-American Translation Prize for Mathias Énard's The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers' Guild! I'm so happy for him ♥️ I can't imagine a lovelier, more deserving person than Frank.

Bachelard, The Poetics of Reverie. For me, the 40 pages after Las Meninas in Foucault's Order of Things is accomplished in 2 by a writer with much more heart and delicacy. More convinced that Bachelard is the key behind Gass's philosophies of fiction/writing...World of the word.
