As translators we really don't nakedly hate Europa Editions *enough*. They shouldn't get a cookie for publishing translations. Fcuk this publisher.

oh my God. this is all so fucking dystopian. this bit in particular really got me:

screencap from the article I'm quote-posting: 

In August, Michael Reynolds, executive publisher at Europa Editions, an independent press in New York best known for publishing Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Quartet of novels, told a room full of booksellers at the New Voices New Rooms conference in Baltimore he was excited about the possibilities for AI in translation and “seemed baffled by critiques of it,” according to attendees. Europa Editions is already controversial among literary circles for leaving the names of its human (for now) translators off the covers of its books.

When Josh Lambert and Dan Sinykin tracked publishing deals since 2000, they found—rather than a decline in Jewish literature—that 2025 was the third-best year of the 21st century for book deals that publicly signaled Jewish or Israeli content. jewishcurrents.org/what-pen-ame...

NYC friends: Brais and Jacob will be doing a LAUNCH EVENT for WHAT REMAINS at Books Are Magic on Friday, October 9 at 7pm! It's so hard to get the word out for debut books, especially translations, but this book and writer and translator are all . . .

Screenshot of the event page for the event with Brais Lamela and Jacob Rogers at Books Are Magic, featuring a photo of Brais, a photo of Jacob, and the novel's front cover.

"Driven by premise rather than plot, THE FORMOSA EXCHANGE is packaged as a nesting doll of speculative metafiction," writes critic Michelle Chan Schmidt.

🧵 Today I was charged under Singapore's Public Order Act for “taking part in a public assembly within a prohibited area”. 3 friends were also charged for the same offence. The assembly in question?
