Lovely to see four @rcwlitagency authors in this @LolliEditions lovefest: @OlgaRavn, Johanne Lykke Holm, @EmilioFraia and Tine Høeg and their respective brilliant translators Martin Aitken, @saskiavogel, @ZAPTranslations and @mishap13 🔥🔥🔥
#IBW Day 8 - pt.4.
If you have never read anything from @LolliEditions, my question is why? Go for it! Embrace their mind-boggling beauty, their visceral strangeness, marvel at their uniqueness, because simply they are books from writers unlike anything you will have read before.

“The first feminist gesture is to say: “OK, they're looking at me. But I'm looking at them.” The act of deciding to look, of deciding that the world is not defined by how people see me, but how I see them” - Agnès Varda

A set of notebooks that belonged to a Danish sailor c.1690, six of which have have unusual black pages. One has been written on with chalk, while the others have writing etched into the pages. Below is breakdown of what we have discovered about them with a few observations /1

Past and present are mashed together in this wonderful puzzle of a novel. I loved it and hope others will embrace it as well. thebobsphere.wordpress.com/2… @mishap13 @LolliEditions

A few great #danish novels on this shelf at Brooklyn’s @mcnallyjackson, translated by the likes of @MrPaulRGarrett, @mishap13, and Martin Aitken.
Great to be featured here – and to have a chance to talk about why Tine Høeg's line works so spookily well, and to read @drohansen on why she's stoked to be publishing this luminous book
'Intimate and diamond-sharp.' @saskiavogel

Cover of the first Japanese translation of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando (1931, trans. Oda Masanobu). Love this design

Today in our celebration of #womenintranslation we turn to Demark and the wonderful @DortheNors who is published in the UK by @PushkinPress.
We particularly love Mirror, Shoulder, Signal, translated by @mishap13, with its dark humour and its unforgettable protagonist, Sonja.
