I'm elated by Georgie Fooks's keen and expansive review of SALT CRYSTALS (by Cristina Bendek, pub. Charco Press) in all its complexity. What a joy to read criticism that engages with both context and craft, authorial decisions and translatorly ones.

'[Bendek] gifts us with an imaginary that glitters, sparking unexpected connections.'
A fabulous, deeply thoughtful review of the incredible SALT CRYSTALS by Cristina Bendek (tr. Robin Myers).
With huge thanks to Asymptote Journal and Georgie Fooks!

This morning I finished Sylvia Molloy's DISLOCATIONS (trans. Jenny Croft & forthcoming from Charco Press), a fantastic book about the gradual loss of a friend to memory loss. 'Because only total oblivion allows for unscathed return; in some sense, she's gone back already.'

One side benefit to being unable to sleep on planes is I was able to read two great books translated by two great translators (Robin Myers and Martin Aitken) from two great publishers (Charco Press and Archipelago Books).
