Presenting my paper about the dire reality of literary translation in Poland at the Translation Studies Congress in Leeds

The 11th EST Congress in Leeds - probably the biggest conference I have ever attended. Photo by Feng Ye.

Yellow Submarine brought me back home. Now a week of work more and off for holidays!

Join me in my campaign to make E. M. Forster the newest old author darling. We could make sticker books for the Gen Z set (Room with a View), wine glass merch for the oldsters (Howard's End), and cute outfits for the gays (Maurice)

A Room with a View does not have to show the view of the Arno - Royal Albert Dock can do as well!

After the conference I could finally join the Fab Five! Welcome to Liverpool!

Even before one conference ends I already have the programme of the next one. This time it will be Vilnius and Sarbiewski - a very appropriate combination - and I will talk about Rev. Isaac Watts! www.barocon2025.flf.vu.lt
