Great to attend the Global Progressive Mobilisation today in Barcelona - an inspiring gathering just a short bus ride from my home - a few photos with (clockwise) @sanchezcastejon, @ellyesse , @carlos_cuerpo , & @IsabellaMWeber, who all gave wonderful remarks
American participants included @NYCMayor , @Tim_Walz , @ChrisMurphyCT , @neeratanden - encouraging remarks from them all, and Walz mentioned the 60 Minnesotans who were part of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade during the Spanish Civil War

I really enjoyed my conversation about Hannah Arendt's poems and the publication of What Remains with @Etanetan23 for @haaretzcom
Inside: My favorite poem, the poem I return to the most, and some biographical notes about Arendt's poems and her private life
A pleasure speaking with @Samantharhill on What Remains, a first-ever English translation of her hidden poems, revealing vulnerability, humor, and reflections on exile, love, and human fragility. @haaretzcom

"Lo atractivo del sistema de premios en España es que ofrece una vía clara para que los autores presenten obras inéditas a una editorial, tengan o no representación formal de un agente"

"Esta estrategia —es decir, que las editoriales premien manuscritos inéditos— contrasta con el sistema de premios de Estados Unidos, el Reino Unido y otros países europeos".

"In much of the world, it is becoming clear that politics are happening to us anyway, all over again. Wills’s personal and political memoir is a reminder of how deeply, and sometimes secretly, this can transform our families and countries, and ourselves"
–Emily McBride @fsgbooks
In "Missing Persons," Clair Wills's intimate story of institutionalized Irish women and children, shows how a family's history and a nation’s history run in parallel.

I wrote about Anagrama's Herralde Prize, one of the most prestigious literary awards for fiction given by a Spanish publisher, which "undoubtedly puts the books on the radar of international publishers who may be interested in their translation,” (@SilviaSese, editorial director)
Since 1983, @AnagramaEditor's Herralde Prize has recognized many of the leading Spanish and Latin American novelists. This year, @XitaRubert & Cynthia Rimsky shared the award.

How can a novel set during one brief moment near the end of Herman Melville’s father’s life become a portal to discuss the world entire—from Moby Dick to Bolaño to Bob Dylan to Borges to vampires to "infinite novels" & more? Join us to find out!
