“My wife was, at one time, a very beautiful woman. But over time, her beauty faded, and with it went her desire for me.” Read from Makenna Goodman’s new novel, Helen of Nowhere.

“Sometimes the walking and talking serves simply as a form of oral diary, a way to cleanse my mind of noise and create room for insight,” writes Makenna Goodman, author of Helen of Nowhere (@coffeehousepress.bsky.social). Read on: at.pw.org/WRGoodman

"Despite its length, Helen of Nowhere manages to feel epic in the best way—the characters feel both familiar and new, the folly of Man is on full display, and on a sentence level, it’s the kind of book that forces you to underline." 🔥🔥🔥 lithub.com/15-novels-yo... 👉HELEN OF NOWHERE - out tomorrow!

#WomenInTranslationMonth Let's take a moment to celebrate Mónica Ojeda and translator Sarah Booker for the dark explosion that is NEFANDO. "Cerebral, sensual and unapologetically scatological" says @gabino.bsky.social via the NYT. (psss...we may have a new Ojeda announcement coming very soon...👀)

See you soon LA, NY, RI, MA, OH, and SF! 🤓 @coffeehousepress.bsky.social

Next week!!! 👇👇👇

#WomenInTranslationMonth Let's take a moment to celebrate Valeria Luiselli and translator Christina MacSweeney for the brilliant essay collection SIDEWALKS. When becoming a literary tourist there's no better companion than Luiselli with her "roving, meandering intelligence."

#WomenInTranslationMonth Let's take a moment and celebrate Alia Trabucco Zerán and translator Sophie Hughes for the THE REMAINDER, an incredible novel about history, childhood, and the legacy of Chile's dictatorship. Astonishing.

😊😊😊

In the mail: pleased to see ARC of @tomcomitta.bsky.social 's 𝑃𝑎𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘, coming soon from @coffeehousepress.bsky.social coffeehousepress.org/products/pat... (Surprised his 𝑃𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒'𝑠 𝐶ℎ𝑜𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝐿𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 ( www.complete-review.com/reviews/usx/... ) hasn't been more widely covered yet.)

#WomenInTranslationMonth Let's take a moment to celebrate Carmen Boullosa and translator Samantha Schnee for the wondrous novel, THE BOOK OF ANNA. Russia. 1915. Boullosa tells a polyphonic and subversive tale of the Russian revolution through the lens of Tolstoy’s most beloved work.

Mark your calendars!

#WomenInTranslationMonth Let's take a moment to celebrate Isabel Zapata and translator Robin Myers for the stunning memoir IN VITRO. With lovely and graceful prose, Isabel writes about the complexities of conception and motherhood, of bodily transformation and love. An absolute gem.

Why read books? Because books are still the most powerful, reliable, transportive & magical storytelling technology we've invented - and all they need to work is YOUR OWN IMAGINATION! #booksky (Cartoon by @mariascrivan.bsky.social)

#WomenInTranslationMonth Let's take a moment to celebrate Mónica Ojeda and translator Sarah Booker for the ominous, multi-vocal novel that is JAWBONE. Ojeda blends adolescence, pop culture, and feminism, to make stunning literature. “Was desire something like being possessed by a nightmare?”
