Portuguese translator @padmav tells us how her São Bernardo edition came to be. We discuss the book's merciless narrator, his surprising evolution, and Graciliano Ramos' devilish use of language. Bet the farm:

Gigi Little, book designer, tells here the story of creating the cover for the American edition of Like Every Form of Love. A lovely narrative rivaled only by her gorgeous cover!
Cover reveal for Like Every Form of Love by @padmav, published in the US by @713Books. It was such fun to work on this with the author and with editor @thinkhasie. I wrote about the process on my blog at: https://t.co/DdshD3ST5F

Many thanks to @laurencocking for this conversation!
My interview with the lovely @padmav went live on @leyendolatamblg today! In it we discuss class as a barrier to translation, how she fell in love with Brazil by way of music, and the experience of retranslating a Brazilian classic

Thank you, amazing Asymptote, for publishing this story!
Brazil’s Adelice Souza blurs the boundaries between drama, prose, and “real life” in her eery existential fiction. @padmav's haunting English translation illuminates the psychological dislocation that drives two actresses to their breaking point. https://t.co/1JQNyD6TGw

So sick of arguments on American exceptionalism. THIS is exactly who we are. It's only one side of who we are, but pretending this wasn't Made in America won't help us move forward.

The coup is failing, and suddenly none of its authors can recognize their signature on the plan.
