Much of the fiction I've translated is yet to be published but this is an essay I loved translating and I am glad it's out in the world.

One of your regulars, IIRC?

I thought it was hilarious and then I saw some of the wild reaches! *SMH*

Hmmm.. I couldn't find the feed. (Still figuring out how this works.) But the hashtag showed me some posts and I kinda think that's not what I was looking for. BTW, do hashtags work here? They don't seem clickable

Where's the #LitTwitter equivalent of this site? Am I not following the right folks? I don't see any of the buzz over there replicated here for the National Translation Award longlist just announced!

Colleague tested my new phone camera today and...

Shoutout to @chembarathi.bsky.social for inviting me over! This is so quiet and enjoyable :)

Thank you. This helps. A lot!

Not sure how this works. Should I DM him?

Yay! Finally in bird sanctuary! 😚
