My new review out today

Excited to have my review of Fleur Jaeggy’s These Possible Lives published today in the respected online journal Quarterly Conversation. This journal has been a great informer and influence on my reading and collecting habits for years. The editor has overseen some excellent work for quite some time and I really encourage anybody with interest in learning about good literature to check it out as a resource (the back issues are available on the site as well).

The primary focus is reviews and articles about literature in translation.

Our first list! International Ladies of Letters

Introducing the first official list for Black Forest Bookshop. I’m very excited about the books included in this release.

Have a look at International Ladies of Letters and let me know if there is something you have an interest in.

 

Thanks!
