Translator
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. ❤️

This has lifted me out of a reading slump: Enard, Tell them of Battles, trans.
@avecsesdoigts.bsky.social
, a beautiful short novel imagining Michelangelo in Constantinople in 1506. A fragmentary book about fragments, drafts, desires, acts of creative imagination, the thrill of translation.
