pinned post!
It's finally here! Of all my over 50 translations, this is the one I'm proudest of-- and most grateful for. I owe so much to Proust, I'm so glad I could repay my debt a little by translating him. ❤️

There is never a bad time to note that Mathias Enard's novels are all great and that
@avecsesdoigts.bsky.social
's fantastic translations make it possible for me to read them (as I am certain that my three years of high school French from the early 90s would ne cut it pas).
