THE REMEMBERED SOLDIER @nytimes.com: "Haunting, powerful . . . loaded with tragic irony . . . this provocatively labyrinthine novel dissects the consciousness of an amnesiac veteran of World War I who has spent four years in a Belgian asylum."

"Hilal is magnificent," The Brooklyn Rail observes of UGLINESS. "Cultural commentary intermixes with poetry, visual art, and personal and political musings as Hilal moves through time, space, and medium to locate ugliness in every nook she can."

"The cover of Moshtari Hilalβs book is not one that goes unnoticed on the bookshelf: 'UGLINESS' in big, bold letters. Beneath the title is Hilalβs self-portrait, embellished with drawn-on lines denoting hair...Itβs the kind of provocation an artist would make, one who knows her audience intimately."

"Virtuoso stuff" is how Tobias Grey in The Financial Times describes THE REMEMBERED SOLDIER, an epic novel about marital love, photography, + Europe in the wake of calamitous war. "David McKayβs page-turning translation faithfully conveys the propulsive nature of Daanjeβs long, sinuous sentences."

Beautiful review of David McKay's extraordinary translation!
Watch David read from THE REMEMBERED SOLDIER here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAWb...
"Resonates powerfully while wars of tragic loss continue to be fought on multiple fronts, including in Europe. Daanje exhibits brilliant powers of reconstitution in her descriptions of the warβs aftermath and the blighted landscapes that it left behind."

@financialtimes.com. "Virtuoso stuff," concludes Tobias Grey. "An epic, extraordinary story of love, identity and war...David McKayβs page-turning translation faithfully conveys the propulsive nature of Daanjeβs long, sinuous sentences."
"Appealing literary quest...An exploration of: 'why write?' and the meaning of the activity...this is an intriguing 'fictional inquiry.'" @maorthofer.bsky.social on A FICTIONAL INQUIRY by Daniele Del Giudice, translated by @annemilanoappel.bsky.social.
