Everyone knows I owe Chad Post everything & teaming up on @openletterbooks.bsky.social & @dalkeyarchive.bsky.social brings his vision into a publishing house centered on international literature & to connect these books with readers who, like me, are starving for that elusive something MORE

Every day of my life I am grateful for readers like @theuntranslated.bsky.social who build a reading community through literature, & to madmen like @maxlawton.bsky.social & @nordicnovellas.bsky.social who bring books, foreign to me, into a language I can understand, & in turn share with the world

The winner is Eve Hill-Agnus' translation of Ultramarine by Mariette Navarro. Coming from @deepvellum.bsky.social

This is an award that specifically funds a translation, the book is coming in March and it looks extremely up my alley as a sea-themed spooky SFF novel.

No surprise for those who’ve read Drew for years that this interview was so good, such a great reader, interviewer, & writer, talking about one of the great novels of our time, one I’m forever so lucky & so honored to publish

Wonderful to meet @willevans.bsky.social and @exhaustdata.bsky.social at Deep Vellum/Dalkey Archive’s Texas Book Festival table. It took a lot of self-control to walk away with only two of their books.
