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"!

A little taste of Michele Mari for English-speaking beginners. Not sure you all deserve it, though! 😁 newyorker.com/books/this-wee…

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.
