Some interesting books on this longlist! I’ve been enjoying reading Kurdish writer Fatma Aydemir’s ‘Djinns’ lately (translated from German by @jpolizei.bsky.social). Looks like there are some other titles I need to add to my ever-growing “to read” pile!

Great books on the longlist! What have been some of your favorite books in translation of 2025?

Just finished Han Kang's We Do Not Part last night. It will take a while to process all that is contained between the covers. The writing & translation (by e. yaewon & Paige Aniyah Morris) are exquisite. There is love & tenderness & care, profound trauma & brutality, art & nature & spirits & memory.

So excited that Too Great a Sky @sevenstoriesuk.bsky.social (@sevenstories.bsky.social) is on this amazing list for this wonderful prize!!!

We are thrilled that TOO GREAT A SKY by Liliana Corobca and translated by Monica Cure has been longlisted for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation 2025!

This is definitely worth exploring! 💙📚🖋️

Congrats to everyone on the long list! ✨ Am especially proud of my pal Kevin Gerry Dunn, translator of HUNGRY FOR WHAT by Maria Bastarós ( @dauntbookspub.bsky.social). Go team! 👏

Another great ARC from @pushkinpress.com involving two unlikely housemates, each accused of indirect homicide, each with their own ghosts, during the early days of COVID. A very quick, at times complicated, read. #BooksInTranslation @wwborders.bsky.social @womenintranslation.bsky.social

I loved the older translation of her work from the period when she won the #Nobel #Books #WIT #BookSky #Poetry 💙📚 Nelly Sachs is a poet to know.

Congratulations to Andrew Shanks, who has won the 2024 Warwick Prize for Women in Translation (@womenintranslation.bsky.social) with Revelation Freshly Erupting by Nelly Sachs! Well done Andrew! 🎉 www.carcanet.co.uk/np55.shtml

Fantastic choice, wonderful book.

Congratulations! A new collection of translations/imitations by Andrew Shanks of Nobel laureate Nelly Sachs’ poetry, written largely in response to the Holocaust. Recently she was most in focus for her correspondence with Paul Celan, so I’m glad of this return to her own work.

Wow! A poetry collection by the German–Swedish poet Nelly Sachs in translations by Andrew Shanks @carcanet.bsky.social What a brave and brilliant choice. Sachs was born in Berlin in 1891. Her first poems were published in 1929. In 1966 she won the Nobel Prize in Literature. She died in 1970.
