Love the idea of a regular translated/global fiction video Katja! I think the focus on reading only translated works can miss countries where many authors write in English such as India and South Africa so global fiction works well. I was only aware of Mammoth so thank you for highlighting so many new titles, especially the new Jokha Alharthi. I loved Celestial Bodies and although Bitter Orange Tree didn’t work quite as well, I’m really interested in Silken Gazelles.
Hi Katja, I always turn to your channel for translated fiction. Unfortunately, I don’t get along with magical realism, but you have a few here that hits the spot for me. One is the laundromat because I also love stories of community and I also read Elena knows. I read it in Spanish first because I couldn’t get an English copy. And it was a different experience than when I read it in English. It was a very interesting book. I bought Claudia Pinero book boulder but I haven’t read it yet. I was expecting to read it with buddy but the reading fell through. I’ve been reading Japanese mysteries recently translated and having a great time, even though the last one didn’t work for me. It was called pro bono by my new favorite author Seicho Matsumoto. I’m still going to read all of his books that were translated because I lived in Japan for 3 years and loved being back there in the world of hispostwar Japan. I was there in 2003 but many of the street scenes and the customs are still very similar. Have a wonderful time reading. Aloha friend.
Thanks, Arianne. Agreed, CP has such a brilliant style. I'm excited about all the books, but especially for TotF and Canneti's 😊. Also TOtF is now showing a 6 August publication date, so that's 2 weeks sooner than I originally expected ✨️
Wonderful video idea, I'll be looking forward to more of these! I did not get on with Boulder but loved Permafrost so I'm looking forward to reading Mammoth. I did not know there was a new Pineiro coming out, sounds wonderful.
Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback 🙏💛 It's great you'll have read all three of Baltasar's books, I hope you get on well with Mammoth. I've pre-ordered Time of the Flies - can't wait! 🤩
@PageTurnersWithKatja .. That's a tough question. I've fallen down the rabbit hole. 😄 All Yours by Pineiro, In The Eye Of The Wild by Natassja Martin, Snow,Dog Foot by Morandini, Magma and Quiet Chaos by Veronesi... so far. I have about 19 waiting for me on my bookcase. I have tonget Yoko's new book. I'm always looking to add translated fiction. I'll be following you very closely. Thank you
