his playing has become so transparent, so imbued with what he is interpreting, that one no longer sees the performer himself—he is simply a window opening upon a great work of art

One of the 20th century’s great poems, on which Donald Justice played an inspired variation.

A little break from translated fiction to read Lucy by The Sea by Elizabeth Strout (published by @VikingBooks). The 3rd pandemic novel I’ve read, more direct than the others, is taking me back to the bewildered disorientation of 2020.

This World Does Not Belong To Us by Natalia Garcia Freire, translated by Victor Meadowcroft and published in 2022 by @OneworldNews. Characterised by a looming dread, this is a well written horror focused on Lucas, who has returned home. #Ecuador #fiction #novel

Voices of the Lost by Lebanese author Hoda Bakarat, translated by Marilyn Booth. This edition was published by @OneworldNews in English in 2021. A quick read with displacement as a central theme. I enjoyed the narrative structure, particularly in the first part of the book.

The Blunder by Mutt-Lon, translated from French by Amy B Reid and published by Amazon Crossing in 2022. A short satire, set mainly in the 1920s, about colonialism, racial stereotyping and medicine. Unsettling and unfortunately familiar #Cameroon #fiction #novel #translation

The Pear Field by Nana Ekvtimishvili, translated by Elizabeth Heighway, published by @PeirenePress in 2020. Quite a violent novel about assault and neglect, centred around Lela, an orphan at a residential school. Grim with a great end. #BookTwitter #novel #fiction

What book would you recommend for a discerning 11 year old who loves The Whitby Witches by Robin Jarvis and Tom’s Midnight Garden?

Today is the anniversary of the launch of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine—and the birthday of Weldon Kees, a poet keenly sensitive to the catastrophes of his era. The refugee in this poem is, by ironic etymology, “the home of man”; he’s based on Wolfgang Born, emigre artist.

Seasons in Hippoland by Wanjiku Wa Ngugi, an author from Kenya. This book was written in English and published by @seagullbooks. I liked this book, with a focus on storytelling and it’s power, family, radicalism, action, justice. #fiction #booktwt #novels
