Celebrated some very good news yesterday with the man who is – incontrovertibly, without a doubt, 100 times over – the most important novelist debuting in English in 2027: Walter Siti. 💪

You, Bleeding Childhoos; Michele Mari. Tr. Brian Robert Moore. Short stories that are quite enjoyable, frequently relatable, and nostalgic. Looking forward to Verdigris.

I've been reminded it can be worth checking the none-space that's bluesky
Comes after another editor (whom I didn't know before) told me it was an "extraordinary translation. Tour de force is an overused term, but it’s the perfect one in this instance". Gettin v excited to share!

This isn't to boast—but you spend a year with a translation of someone's important work in your head & have no idea how it'll go. Sometimes editors' initial responses are crisis-inducing. So I'm taking the win!
And yes that's both an Anglo-French pun & nod to my mimicking Céline

Enough time has passed to ask when are we going to get a surprise (not very famous to all of us already) Nobel pick who doesn't write in English? Do they do that anymore?

Please stop responding to this post by saying Krasznahorkai or Han Kang who were both massively famous with readers in the Anglosphere (and represented by the same big UK-based agency).
The prize has an absurd task, people can wish for it to be different (or better) how they wish

It seems people on here like translators/translation. Doing this in an hour (1:30 eastern time). Biggest points of reference will be Michele Mari and Walter Siti: lllc.uiowa.edu/event/39705/0

Article today on @fanpage saying that after Ferrante (for her popularity abroad) the Italian authors who could hope to have a shot at the Nobel are Maraini, Starnone and Michele Mari 😈. By @mrjones1981

New Walter Siti out in Italian in a month! Not a drill!
And what a title: Autoritratto da annegato (Self-Portrait as a Drowned Man). The undisputed king of Italian autofiction and cultural decadence publishes his first work of "auto-crime" 🦑

New online! An interview with our translator-in-residence, Polly Barton, by Eric Ozawa.
Polly and Eric delve into the art of translation, conversations about porn, and Polly's Goldsmiths Prize shortlisted novel, 'What Am I, A Deer?'.

Happy International Translation Day! Don't forget to get excited about this novel starring the author of "The Task of the Translator," and written by the Italian translator of Melville, Steinbeck, H.G. Wells and Gombrowicz 🫶
And we have a cover! Coming in July, UK & US.
Translating any Michele Mari book is an honor, but this mysterious high-modernist masterpiece was something special. If you want to join Walter Benjamin in the search for aura and read it early to review it, tell me or @andothertweets
