I wrote about some of the best books I've read in the heat of this summer, including works by António Lobo Antunes, Lisa Tuttle, Alexis Wright, Jacqueline Harpman, Irene Solá, Yoko Tawada, and Marcia Douglas. Link below.

Anyone know if this is/will be available in the US with English or Spanish subtitles? Or if it’s any good?

Interlibrary loaned this to read before committing to the whole set—did not expect this wizened talisman!

Been watching a lot of author interviews. Pleased by how many Archipelago Books live events have been recorded.

Every Day is for the Thief has informed me that Teju Cole is one of the great contemporary writers. This is easily my favorite Nigerian novel so far.

I’ll be traveling to Nigeria in a few months and of course that means I’ll be reading through it. What am I missing?

Spent some time reading first pages to decide on my next book. Once I started this one I couldn’t stop. “-we want to be the size of what happens to us and we can’t do it,”

Blanchot’s Anne might be the character I’ve related to most since Lispector’s protagonists. The duplicity inherent between two separate beings, the desire to transcend through the body, divine action through inaction. One of literature’s greatest deaths.

99% of the time I read a review of a novel in translation and they mention the english sounding awkward or stilted, I get the sense that they don’t have a very wide sense of how english sounds.

Some highly anticipated library orders of mine came in. I can’t believe Quiet Dawn hasn’t been discussed much online since it just released. Just look at that opening.

Are there any good works of literature that prominently depict bipolar disorder? Suggestions would be appreciated.

Been slowly reading through the Black Star Books and Head of Zeus reprint of the Heinemann African Writers series, my latest being Kole Omotoso’s The Edifice. A biting Nigerian novel of assimilation and hypocrisy. For those who appreciate Dambudzo Marechera and Ama Ata Aidoo.
