MY DREADFUL BODY, says @nytimes.com Style Magazine, 'is organised around body parts...to uncover the memories, rituals and prohibitions attached to them. The novel’s structure is anatomical, dismantling the body before gradually putting it back together on different terms."

Egana Djabbarova's novel MY DREADFUL BODY in @nytimes.com Style Magazine Middle East North Africa edition. "'My Dreadful Body' is organised around individual body parts, moving through eyebrows, hair, hands, breasts and other fragments . . . "

My Dreadful Body by Egana Djabbarova, translated by Lisa C. Hayden, New Vessel Press: A dazzling debut novel about a young woman’s vexed coming of age in a traditional Azerbaijani community in Russia, grappling under the weight of Muslim patriarchal norms and a debilitating neurological condition. The mysterious affliction leaves her unable to control her muscles, plagued by pain and speech disorders, defying diagnosis. Addressing each body part with the scrupulousness of a medical researcher, the narrator explores memories, traditions, and taboos related to her physical self. https://newvesselpress.com/books/my-dreadful-body/
Ever Since We Small by Celeste Mohammed, Ig Publishing: An intricately woven tapestry of stories where survival, resilience, and self-discovery are passed down through generations of an Indo-Trinidadian family. Celeste Mohammed’s second novel-in-stories, Ever Since We Small, is a family saga that spans from the days of the British Raj in India to multicultural modern Trinidad. Written in a blend of Standard English and several flavors of Trinidad Kriol, the book follows the bloodline of a young woman, Jayanti, after her decision to become a girmitiya, an indentured laborer in the Caribbean. https://www.igpub.com/ever-since-we-small/

Absolutely brilliant read! Thank you so much for your translation, @lizoksbooks.bsky.social. It's way up there with Three Apples Fell From the Sky for me. #MyDreadfulBody #Djabbarova26

Unlike my girlfriends and others around me, however, my glasses—like books—never betrayed me. They always waited for me to return to their world when I opened up another book or took them off my nightstand; they waited for me to open my eyes again. Egana Djabbaraova, My Dreadful Body

"Freud would have a field day with this talky, gossipy, and prescient dark comedy of high-level corruption and warped family ties," says @publisherswkly.bsky.social of Noa Yedlin's "engrossing" novel HOUSE ARREST. "This is a wry tonic with a delicious final twist."

Wishing you a sweet, healthy, & happy start to 5787! We're turning to a #JewishBook that delves into cycles & transitions during all of life's seasons. Maya Arad’s HAPPY NEW YEARS is the perfect novel to read during this period of renewal. bit.ly/4xYKNmD @newvesselpress.bsky.social

It's a gray day. Turn off the TV - there's nothing good to see there. Take a stroll, hit the cafe, walk on over to the bookstore, and discover some new literature - maybe these two translations from our friends @newvesselpress.bsky.social
