You, Bleeding Childhoos; Michele Mari. Tr. Brian Robert Moore. Short stories that are quite enjoyable, frequently relatable, and nostalgic. Looking forward to Verdigris.

I've been reminded it can be worth checking the none-space that's bluesky Comes after another editor (whom I didn't know before) told me it was an "extraordinary translation. Tour de force is an overused term, but it’s the perfect one in this instance". Gettin v excited to share!

This isn't to boast—but you spend a year with a translation of someone's important work in your head & have no idea how it'll go. Sometimes editors' initial responses are crisis-inducing. So I'm taking the win! And yes that's both an Anglo-French pun & nod to my mimicking Céline

Enough time has passed to ask when are we going to get a surprise (not very famous to all of us already) Nobel pick who doesn't write in English? Do they do that anymore?

Please stop responding to this post by saying Krasznahorkai or Han Kang who were both massively famous with readers in the Anglosphere (and represented by the same big UK-based agency). The prize has an absurd task, people can wish for it to be different (or better) how they wish

It seems people on here like translators/translation. Doing this in an hour (1:30 eastern time). Biggest points of reference will be Michele Mari and Walter Siti: lllc.uiowa.edu/event/39705/0

Article today on @fanpage saying that after Ferrante (for her popularity abroad) the Italian authors who could hope to have a shot at the Nobel are Maraini, Starnone and Michele Mari 😈. By @mrjones1981

Sometimes even a man in his fifties gets really into Pink Floyd. Not too late if you write a horror novel about it

New Walter Siti out in Italian in a month! Not a drill! And what a title: Autoritratto da annegato (Self-Portrait as a Drowned Man). The undisputed king of Italian autofiction and cultural decadence publishes his first work of "auto-crime" 🦑

New online! An interview with our translator-in-residence, Polly Barton, by Eric Ozawa. Polly and Eric delve into the art of translation, conversations about porn, and Polly's Goldsmiths Prize shortlisted novel, 'What Am I, A Deer?'.

Thrilled for Lalla Romano and her all-important work that In Farthest Seas—in my translation—has been longlisted for the @WarwickPrizeWiT! @PushkinPress It strikes me as a very strong list, and the kind of company Lalla deserves 🌊🌊

Happy International Translation Day! Don't forget to get excited about this novel starring the author of "The Task of the Translator," and written by the Italian translator of Melville, Steinbeck, H.G. Wells and Gombrowicz 🫶

And we have a cover! Coming in July, UK & US. Translating any Michele Mari book is an honor, but this mysterious high-modernist masterpiece was something special. If you want to join Walter Benjamin in the search for aura and read it early to review it, tell me or @andothertweets

The way the scene of Benjamin's death is revealed in Michele Mari's All the Iron in the Eiffel Tower, my god... One of the most emotional and haunting things I've ever translated. Will now be on my mind all day. "Now we're almost good and through, now we're almost at Portbou..."
The Public Domain Review@PublicDomainRevSep 26
#OnThisDay in 1940, the philosopher, literary critic, and essayist Walter Benjamin died by suicide in the Spanish border town of Portbou whilst on the run from the Nazis. Here's Anca Pusca on the relevance of Benjamin’s oeuvre in a digital age: publicdomainreview.org/essay… #otd

A reminder that all brodernists should not sleep on Michele Mari simply because his books are incredibly fun. One does at one's own peril.

Maybe we need @cementeriocc to write a piece on Mari's next for LARB that will finally heal the fractured overly online lit community
