I happen to be staying in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the period marking 30 years after #Srebrenica so I picked up this book, “The Bone Whisperers” by Taina Tervonen. I recommend it to those interested in learning about the long term consequences of gen@cide. It’s no light reading but pertinent.
It’s publication day for The Penguin Book of Polish Short Stories. It took 39 authors 100 years to write, and me about 4 years to compile and translate, with the help of 11 other translators. It aims to show the variety and brilliance of modern Polish literature.
Here’s what happens when a poet writes prose. Palestinian authors transmit a sense of grief and longing I never experienced anywhere else in literature. Shoutout to @dauntbookspub.bsky.social for this beautiful edition.
