@avecsesdoigts.bsky.social Congrats to Charlotte Mandell - "brilliantly translated"!! #InternationalBooker #Translation #Literature www.ndbooks.com/book/the-des...

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).

So many thanks to the judges of the International Booker Prize for longlisting my translation of Mathias Énard's THE DESERTERS, published by @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social in the UK and New Directions in the US. 🙏 www.theguardian.com/books/2026/f...

We are thrilled that THE DESERTERS by Mathias Enard, tr. @avecsesdoigts.bsky.social, is on the International Booker longlist! Congratulations to all longlisted authors, translators and publishers: www.theguardian.com/books/2026/f...

Over the moon that my translation of Mathias Énard's THE DESERTERS made the longlist for the Booker International Prize! Thank you to all the lovely judges for choosing this wonderful book, it's an honor to be on such a distinguished list. thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-l...

UPDATE: we have heat, and soup!

We've lost heat just before the blizzard. So, making butternut squash soup...

Enard mentions this song by Bourvil, "Clair De Lune à Maubeuge," in The Melancholy of Borders, which I'm translating now (I'm partial to the duck calls) youtu.be/UGN1SeZ4r54?...
