NBCC member Michael Barron reviewed "What Remains," written by Brais Lamela and translated from the Galician by Jacob Rogers, for the Los Angeles Review of Books:

“Like the hybrid works of Valeria Luiselli, Nathalie Léger, and Cristina Rivera Garza, Galician writer Brais Lamela’s prize-winning debut novel blends fiction, memoir, essay, and archival research to set history in conversation with contemporary reality.”

Over the moon!! What Remains will be published in the US in October, thanks to the amazing people at @dorothyproject.bsky.social

"What remains? the book’s title asks. After emigration, after history, after death, exile, and transformation, what remains is life." A luminous and beautifully-written review of "What Remains," by Michael Barron, for the Los Angeles Review of Books lareviewofbooks.org/article/what...

Los árboles, se dice, son los reguladores de la vida y, por lo tanto, los socialistas de la creación.

Excelente proxecto e entrevista sobre tráfico de escravos en Galicia

A escritora Cristina Sánchez-Andrade escribiu onte un fermoso artigo sobre Ninguén queda na Voz de Galicia. Agradecido 💛 www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/opin...

Very happy to share this latest #RivetingReview of 'What Remains' by @braislamela.bsky.social (tr. Jacob Rogers), reviewed by Mandy Wight for eurolitnetwork.com 📚 Read the full review in the link below.

'This beautifully written book tells a story of displacement, but also invites us to see movement and emigration on a wider scale, as a continually evolving and dynamic human story.'

"En nuestro siempre cambiante ecosistema mediático, obras como la de Margit nos recuerdan que el saber incorporado y compartido, integrado de forma orgánica en espacios sociales dinámicos, a menudo de forma conflictiva, resulta más útil a la colectividad y más perdurable en la memoria."

El viernes pasado falleció a sus 100 años Margit Frenk, maestra absoluta de literatura del Siglo de Oro y de cultura popular. No sé por dónde empezar, pero quiero hablar de ella. Pocas obras de investigación humanística tienen la trascendencia de su legado

❤️❤️❤️

Precioso artigo de Manuel Gago. Grazas polo cariño a Ninguén queda ❤️‍🩹 www.galiciae.com/blog/manuel-...

My latest round-up of translated fiction is now online.

Highly recommend this brilliant, super-original and thought-provoking novel by @braislamela.bsky.social translated from Galician by Jacob Rogers @bullaunpress.bsky.social

Hoxe estou por Nova York para falar sobre os poemas galegos de Lorca 💐

Join us this Thursday @booksupstairs.bsky.social to celebrate the launch of What Remains, our latest title in translation.

📖 ‘Ninguén queda’ – Brais Lamela (Euseino?) Unha aposta radical pola literatura que arrisca. Un texto que vai directo ao miolo: que queda de nós cando xa non queda ninguén? Perfecto para lectoras que buscan ruptura e experimentación.

Estaremos por Dublín presentando a tradución de Ninguén queda. Vinde!!

Mark your calendars! The Irish Centre for Galician Studies at University College Cork warmly welcomes you to What Remains in Translation, an event with author Brais Lamela and translator Jacob Rogers, chaired by Martín Veiga.

We are delighted to share the beautiful cover of our next title in translation, courtesy of @hitoneie.bsky.social. What Remains is Brais Lamela's debut novel, translated from the original Galician by Jacob Rogers.

as a measure of how chaotic my reading habits have become these are literally the two books on my bedside table

Un sobriño prestoume pros aburrimentos "Ninguén queda" de Brais Lamela. Caeu en horas. Encantoume. A pila de pendentes está baixando a un ritmo interesante...

"Y que este libro de cuentos sea releído en este tiempo oscuro en el que Mangione trae de vuelta a Unabomber, mientras el infinito reel que nos rodea juega a mezclar, impío, postestructuralismo y Mercadona. Larga vida a Ferrín, el guerrillero." elpais.com/babelia/2025...

hoxe cumplo anos 🙃

Para @jcteijo.bsky.social de @braislamela.bsky.social

Pronto escoitaredes falar da novela de @chavena.bsky.social, se non o fixestes xa, e tamén subiredes ao barco. Canta vida mete Cynthia nas palabras, mareas de xente en cada palabra, moreas vestidas con uniforme azul en cada páxina, nun libro no que cada onda é unha multitude, peza de algo maior.

In the latest issue of CLAR, I publish an article about the fuzzy word of colonial translation, early modern debates about slavery and the encomienda, and the story of a mestizo interpreter who allegedly caused a riot for mistranslating one word (!). doi.org/10.1080/1060...

Feliz 2025 con este poema de Alice Oswald, que veñan moitos portentos neste ano novo ✨

Un libro que he disfrutado este 2024: "No queda nadie", de @braislamela.bsky.social, traducido del galego por María Alonso Seisdedos. Muy recomendable este éxito de Cuatro Lunas ganador del Premio "El Ojo Crítico" de RNE de Narrativa 2023

perhaps my favorite narrator of all time (7/20)

6/20

Of course all of it is very beautiful but I especially love the little poems that Genji writes, the exile at Suma, the modernity of those blank chapters that mark the prince's death (4/20)

all those similes (3/20)

And so they are ever returning to us, the dead (2/20)

ok I'm doing the 20 books thing

Mañá en Lugo terei a honra de abrir este congreso sobre as institucións de memoria e o mundo rural, e de escoitar a moita xente admirada🍀

Isto é mañá! Vémonos 🫶

"Lenguas cuya fragilidad estructural estimula paradójicamente la audacia." Nadal Suau escribe hoxe en El País un precioso artigo sobre a creación literaria máis alá do castelán. Agradecido pola mención a Ninguén queda elpais.com/babelia/2024...

"Cold, delicately as the dark snow A fox's nose touches twig, leaf; Two eyes serve a movement, that now And again now, and now, and now Sets neat prints into the snow Between trees, and warily a lame Shadow lags by stump and in hollow Of a body that is bold to come" The Thought Fox, Ted Hughes

O xoves 26 de novembro estaremos con María Sánchez e Susana Pedreira na librería Cronopios de Santiago para falar sobre a literatura contra a extinción. Oxalá nos ocorra algo!

i do not understand why screenshots of stupid tweets by stupid people are being posted to here man. nobody wants to see it there what makes you think anyone wants to see it here.

I think I'm staying here

Following the election here because I'm too scared of twitter today...

Immensely impressed & moved by this beautiful debut novel by Brais Lamela. I’m grateful to Lola Larumbe of Libreria Alberti for recommending it—& I hope US & UK publishers will be quick to bring it to English-language readers.
