I'm going to win.

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:

No. 7 - The Ravickians by Renee Gladman @dorothyproject.bsky.social Decay, despair, loss in & of Ravicka, in translation of language & relationships by time, age & distance. Luswage Amini & Ana Patova’s failure to connect over 30 years. ‘Ana Patova Crosses a Bridge’ is next 💙📚 #Booksky #LitFic

Read a novel from @dorothyproject.bsky.social this #BlackHistoryMonth! Renee Gladman’s MY LESBIAN NOVEL is “a beautifully orchestrated dialogue between reflection and desire, or clarity and confusion.” dorothyproject.com/book/my-lesb...

"Autobiomythography, as biomythography was to Lorde, is a survival strategy." Lana Lin in conversation with Porochista Khakpour at The Brooklyn Rail... brooklynrail.org/2026/02/book...

The Goldsmiths Prize in partnership with the Deptford Literary Festival Presents: Kate Briggs 📅 Wednesday 25th March, 7pm 📍Goldsmiths, University of London FREE TIX👇 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-goldsm...

Renee Gladman kicks so much ass. I'll also throw My Lesbian Novel on the recommendation pile

No. 6 - Event Factory by Renee Gladman @dorothyproject.bsky.social 1st release. Gladman’s themes of architecture (who is it for, what is its nature) & limits of language are here but it’s also elusive; open to interpretation. Most of all, a joy to read. The Ravickians is next 💙📚 #Booksky #LitFic

A lovely conversation between Lana Lin (THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF H. LAN THAO LAM) and Summer Kim Lee (SPOILED) at Asia Art Archive . . .

“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.”

Cannot wait for @dorothyproject.bsky.social’s fall releases! 💫 “A penetrating new voice among contemporary Danish innovators like Olga Ravn and Solvej Balle, Denise Rose Hansen paints with spare, deft lyricism a whole world of grief and yearning.”

2025 Longlist for the US/Canada Republic of Consciousness Small Press Prize @usrofc.bsky.social #booksky 💙📚 #books #smallpresses #literature

Appropriately includes Caren Beilin's REVENGE OF THE SCAPEGOAT! "The funniest parts of this funny American book are the dialogues between Iris’s aching feet, whom she has named Bouvard and Pécuchet (after two characters in an unfinished Flaubert novel)." electricliterature.com/7-novels-abo...

Renee Gladman, _TOAF_ from @dorothyproject.bsky.social A scarily spot-on blind-date-with-a-book from @portersqbooks.bsky.social, I was partway through Gladman's _Calamities_ & mourning there was only so much of it left. Thanks for setting us up, PSQ :)

The Endless Week is easily one of the best novels I read last year.

MY LESBIAN NOVEL, Renee Gladman @dorothyproject.bsky.social pissandpoopism.blogspot.com/2026/01/my-l...

Lana Lin’s The Autobiography of H. Lan Thao Lam is a witty, tender, and quietly radical book about queer partnership, migration, and being rendered invisible, whilst insisting on being seen anyway. 💙📚 #booksky 🌈📚 #queerbookworm 🐶📚 #pudseyrecommends 📚🌎 #diversebooks

"Longlisted for the National Book Award, and a triumph for the small woman-centered Dorothy, a publishing project, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF H. LAN THAO LAM is an absorbing work commemorating 25 years of queer love and artistic partnership." A new review for Lana Lin! glreview.org/article/step...

Opening paragraph of Renee Gladman’s “The Ravickians” is wonderful on the limitations of translation

I loved Lana Lin’s The Autobiography of H. Lan Thao Lam. I now need to read Gertrude Stein’s The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas…

And shout out to @dorothyproject.bsky.social--they are doing some incredible small-but-perfectly-formed books. I also read Renee Gladman's fabulous My Lesbian Novel this year. bsky.app/profile/lisa...

Lana Lin as H. Lan Thao Lam, channeling Gertrude Stein & Alice B. Toklas: “How to re-imagine one’s body, & one’s life as a body, as bodies, when answers are not forthcoming? Stein offers a strategy that Lana & I continue to abide by, one of re-orienting oneself to the practice of seeking questions.”

Lana Lin's The Autobiography of H. Lan Thao Lam is so clever & fun & moving. Lin & her publisher, Dorothy, A Publishing Project, call it an autobiomythography, suggesting a lineage of both Audre Lorde & Gertrude Stein.

12. The Taiga Syndrome by Cristina Rivera Garza Another title I picked up from a fav bookstore, Woodenshoe. I don't even know how to describe this one other than it's a moment. I felt like I couldn't breath yet needed more and need to check out more from the publisher, @dorothyproject.bsky.social

It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.

Holiday review reading break to catch up on some Dorothy Project oddities

Not *at all* surprised that Dennis Cooper dug THE ENDLESS WEEK!

A Chicago Reader reader recommends Lana Lin's THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF H. LAN THAO LAM, calling it "a brilliant embodiment of the way two lives mesh together over time and a poignant reminder that perhaps the best way to be loved is to be seen." 🧡 chicagoreader.com/books/reader...

People, this book is really something. “Vazquez has created a unique and enduring novel. Something hard and real and tangible glitters amid the vapour of text and image she describes.” Check out Dustin Illingworth on THE ENDLESS WEEK @newleftreview.bsky.social newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...

“Someone at the high school asked me what my favourite emotion was and I said, “Awkward.” I’m not sure awkward is an emotion but it is where I live and it is what I want to write. Discomfort. Unsettled. Uncanny. I’m interested in a narrative arc that moves in these energies.” - Pip Adam

"It was amazing to imagine your city was a novel, and that for you to walk around within it meant that you were in language, you were in a thinking text. I had been placed inside of something dreaming, its citizens dreaming, the novels we had all written dreaming." - Renee Gladman, Houses of Ravicka

🧡 this interview with Lana Lin . . . memoirland.substack.com/p/the-memoir...

Where the incomparable Danielle Dutton talks with Pip Adam about the choice of being vague or didactic, politically engaged fiction and more. Huge thanks to @dorothyproject.bsky.social @literaryhub.bsky.social & @pipadam.bsky.social lithub.com/other-better...

Alex Niemi, terrific translator of THE ENDLESS WEEK by Laura Vazquez, will be reading from and discussing the book tomorrow, Thursday, December 11 at 7pm CST at Woodland Pattern in Milwaukee (and online)! We've heard Alex read from the novel before and it and she were great! Tune in if you can...

Dressing for World Book Day as the river in Barbara Comyns's 'Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead'.

What an odd little book! Both charming and off-putting. Creepy and pastoral. I kept picturing the characters looking like they were claymation in Tim Burton style. Reminded me of Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle! I recommend, especially if you like that one! #booksky 📚💙 💙📚
