"we feel the ocean and earth, the power of plants and animals, the majesty of Eritrea; we feel the thrum of the vibrant cities of Massawa and Asmara. Time passes, stories risk fading, but the translation of this book saves a portion of history that deserves to be shared."
Abandonment: an Eritrean-Italian Story, by Erminia Dell’Oro, tr. by Oonagh Stransky.
''A book that could lead to healing.''

Reminder that, while many small presses do good and important work, small isn’t necessarily synonymous with ethical, or better treatment for workers/translators, or really better practice in any way!

It is inspiring to see so many authors and translators withdraw their work, pledge their prize money, or make a statement in solidarity—and *infuriating* that they should have to do so instead of rightfully celebrating, and being celebrated for, their accomplishments @PENamerica
Let's order books!
Specifically the ones withdrawn from PEN America's book awards this year!
