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."

Thank you to @newvesselpress.bsky.social for publishing my translation of Egana Djabbarova's My Dreadful Body. Our work together and the book itself mean a lot to me so it's especially gratifying to hear that My Dreadful Body made the National Book Award's longlist for Translated Literature!
MY DREADFUL BODY named to 2026 National Book Award for Translated Literature longlist! Congratulations Egana Djabbarova + @lizoksbooks.bsky.social for this dazzling novel about a young woman’s vexed coming of age in a traditional Azerbaijani community in Russia.
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
