This is very good
At long last, information about BTBA 2021--the "tournament of BTBA champions." (Also a bit of info about BTBA 2022 . . . ) rochester.edu/College/transl…

The @BTBA_ is taking a sort of hiatus in 2021 and instead spending the entire year looking back at the 25 winners to date, the shortlists, and the general trends in translation that have taken place over the past 13 years. rochester.edu/College/transl…

Good Will Come From the Sea by Christos Ikonomou, tr. Karen Emmerich is a devastating and yet darkly funny collection of four linked stories of 21st-century Greece. I just couldn’t shake off this urgent and profound book— @BTBA_ #intranslation @archipelagobks

The warning comes early: lists “become salvos, each name a shot, the air trembles and shakes with the gunfire.” A worthy @BTBA_ winner from @NewDirections for #TranslationThursday!
This list is amazing! A few familiar names from years past, but a hell of a lot new to us!

"Doomi Golo," the first novel ever written in Wolof, is from @msupress. I said a little bit about it here for @BTBA_ one year: rochester.edu/College/transl…

I ❤️ that everyone's sharing Keene's "Translating Poetry, Translating Blackness," but the fact we keep sharing that 1 essay shows how lacking translation studies has been in engaging w/Blackness, how few Black TS scholars there are in US/UK, & how we privilege only a few of them.
