A sea of Lallas 🌊🌊 Working on this was not like translating a book, but like translating a whole human heart. Out Aug 26 in the US & Sept 11 in the UK. Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to read it for a review! Fans include Jhumpa Lahiri, Ayşegül Savaş, Catherine Lacey💙
Wonderful news from our former slug-in-residence Brian! And if you haven't read VERDIGRIS yet, what are you doing – slugs, nazis, the most pyrotechnical translation of vernacular you'll ever read. Run don't walk, etc.
Fellow slugs: I'm honored to share that my translation of Michele Mari's Verdigris has won ALTA's 2025 Italian Prose in Translation Award. Very grateful for what the judges had to say, and grateful to Michele who let me go crazy with this translation! 🐛 literarytranslators.org/winner-of-2025…

A nice review of In Farthest Seas in @bookblast by Rosa Picard, with close attention given to the rhythm and sentence structure of the translation. Romano's memories are "reconfigured, jewel-like for us, showing us so delicately how to love and be loved"🌊bookblast.org/blog/in-farthe…
For readers who didn’t want spooky season to end: Verdigris was just chosen as this month’s read for the bookclub Buffy’s, hosted by @lizzyhadfield. Tix will go on sale for an in-person discussion in NYC, but people can read along & chat on substack too👻: buffysbookclub.substack.com/p/welcome-to-b…
Happy Halloween to all — hope everyone’s reading something ghostly
Double Lalla somewhere in there 👀💙
New Mari incoming! (In Italian) This one is super fun and, in a way that took me completely off guard, one of Mari’s most poignant & tender. As always, exceedingly unconventional 🎲
Clicked for the 700-page Bachtyar, and found myself quoted. Paradise is "on the horizon"!
The new Archipelago catalog is crazy. 700+ page novel from Bachtyar Ali 👀.
A little taste of Michele Mari for English-speaking beginners. Not sure you all deserve it, though! 😁 newyorker.com/books/this-wee…
Enjoying this one so far

Happy to announce I have a forthcoming translation that will completely solve the current masculinity crisis (Walter Siti's Paradise Overload). The kind of performing we need.
It’s the first Monday of the month, so here’s a new issue of Words for Worlds, the F-SF newsletter with an Indian slant. feat. In Farthest Seas, writing the sequel to THE SENTENCE, Strange Horizons @ 25, Einstein’s Dreams, and more. [Link in tweet below. 👇🏼]
From @smthcurated, Lalla Romano's In Farthest Seas is "A beautiful, heartfelt elegy to a late partner, filled with scintillating, revealing details." Five Books to Read this Month, by @BartolomeoSala 🌊: somethingcurated.com/2025/10/02/bes…
qrt with your book pics :) (I usually use my kindle 🫣)
A beautiful letter from @typebooks and from bookseller / literary translator Claire Foster for last month’s surprise TYPE In Translation pick, In Farthest Seas. 💙 It’s an impeccably curated subscription series for anyone interested: typebooks.ca/collections/su…
