"Death must be so beautiful. to lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. to have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. to forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace. you can help me. you can open for me the portals of death's house, for love is always with you, and love is stronger than death is" with such ease? to touch my soul so casually?

— Oscar Wilde, The Canterville Ghost

“When the violin repeats what the piano has just played, it cannot make the same sounds and it can only approximate the same chords. It can, however, make recognizably the same "music," the same air. But it can do so only when it is as faithful to the self-logic of the violin as it is to the self-logic of the piano.

Language too is an instrument, and each language has its own logic. I believe that the process of rendering from language to language is better conceived as a "transposition" than as a "Translation," for "translation" implies a series of word-for-word equivalents that do not exist across language boundaries any more than piano sounds exist in the violin.”

john ciardi’s introduction to his translation of dante’s inferno <3

• Palestinian literature recommendations - small books with a big impact •

Here’s a few recommendations for short reads. If you’re looking for small books to help you reach your reading goal before the end of the year or for when you need a shorter read to suit your time, these are all fairly quick reads but very impactful.

All Palestinian literature. Most of these recommendations are short story collections and mostly translated from Arabic. They each show the different ways the Israeli occupation has affected Palestinians. From the start of the Nakba, to the blockaded Gaza Strip, to Palestinians refugees in the diaspora.

* Shatila Stories published by Peirene Press, nine contributors (Palestinian and Syrian): Omar Khaled Ahmad, Nibal AlAlow, Safa Khaled Algharbawi, Omar Abdellatif Alndaf, Rayan Mohamad Sukkar, Safiya Badran, Fatima Omar Ghazawi, Samih Mahmoud, Hiba Mareb. Translated by Nashwa Gowanlock

* Men in the Sun and Other Palestinian Stories by Ghassan Kanafani, translated by Hilary Kilpatrick

* The Sea Cloak and Other Stories by Nayrouz Qarmout, translated by Perween Richards

* Minor Detail by Adania Shibli, translated by Elisabeth Jaquette

* The Book of Ramallah edited by Maya Abu Al-Hayat, various translators

Have you read any of these? Are there others any you would add to the list or recommend me to read? The Book of Gaza is one I have on my radar that I want to read at some point.

I was waiting impatiently to find out what Emily Wilson's Iliad would have to say about Achilles and Patroclus and this is just the introduction but suffice it to say I feel safe going into this knowing she understood the assignment on a deep and profound level.

Like OK go off queen I knew we could trust you!

Around 25 million people around the world speak Dutch as their first language—in Netherlands, but also in countries that suffered from Dutch imperialism and exploitation, such as the Republic of Suriname and Indonesia. I found so many books hard to find—particularly from Dutch-Indonesian authors—but still found some incredible recommendations for you all in translation.

Favorites? Probably historical fiction The House of the Mosque by Kader Abdolah, translated by Susan Massotty, and the eerie, edgy queer novella We Had to Remove This Post by Hanna Bervoets, translated by Emma Rault. Reviews to come, but for now, check out the full list over at Book Riot!

Perhaps it isn't love when I say you are what I love the most-you are the knife I turn inside myself, this is love.
