"Jamie Richards, a full-time translator, was awarded $4,000 for his English-language transcription from the Italian of Marosia Castaldi's "The Hunger of Women," the American Literary Translators Association announced." 😅

Review | Aaron Robertson’s book “The Black Utopians” mines the tension between “running from hell” and “racing toward paradise,” and finds beauty in seemingly impossible dreams.

“I recenti successi della letteratura italiana all’estero si devono in larga misura a chi la traduce - e la vastità del panorama editoriale che la rende possibile si deve chi lo arricchisce traducendo in italiano romanzi da tutto il mondo” - @vlatronico
In Cultura su @LaStampa importante indagine di @vlatronico sui traduttori italiani, cui si deve molto del successo che la nostra letteratura sta avendo nel mondo, e che vanno sostenuti di più (copiamo da chi lo fa già, e bene, leggasi pezzi per avere idea)

Life is always worth living, and there is always hope for the future, even when everything seems to be over. The fact that each of us exists is a unique gift for both ourselves and for others. God never abandons us - He knows how to listen, rejoice, and weep with us.

Dem leadership failed to force out Dianne Feinstein who was completely senile at 90. They cannot afford the same lack of backbone now. The stakes are too high. It was painfully obvious to everyone: Joe is not up to the job. The country deserves better
Opinion: The story is now about whether Joe Biden can be persuaded to step down. The Democrats argue that the stakes for America are existential. The question now is whether they have the ruthlessness to act on those beliefs on.ft.com/3XC1u8a

You guys are whistling past the graveyard. Everyone who saw that debate witnessed a confused 81-yr-old man unable to finish his sentences and thoughts. This was not normal and it's not the invention of media pundits. Wake up before it's too late. Joe needs to go.

Today's papal audience for comedians and humorists in the Apostolic Palace was a joyful event, and the Pope's talk on how humor "spreads peace and smiles" was beautiful. Here's the Holy Father greeting some American comedians. It was a joy to meet so many comedians who are also lovely people. Video from @VaticanNews

Happy Loving Day!
57 years ago, the Supreme Court affirmed the right to interracial marriage. As MAGA extremists are attacking our civil rights on every front, we have to keep fighting so that everyone can marry who they love.

Translator & novelist Idra Novey says something similar to @jenniferlcroft, "The questions that guide my word choices when recreating the sensibility of another writer in English have become integral to the questions that guide my word choices for each character in [my] novel."
“My years as a translator have taught me to judge all works on their own terms. And as a writer, to try and understand the terms of the work I’m embarking on.” — @jenniferlcroft
