August is Women in Translation Month. This is the fourth year of the campaign, which was founded by literary blogger and biophysicist Meytal Radzinksi. I'm a big fan of this effort to raise awareness about women writers in translation and read more of them. And, I'm super excited to have my piece "Translation is not kale" in The Seattle Review of Books today, which discusses WITMonth in a wider context and revels in some of my favorite-favorite books. You can read "Translation is not kale" here. I've also got three reviews scheduled right here on my blog, starting today and continuing the next two Thursdays. More soon!
