Forgottenness
by Tanja Maljartschuk, translated by Zenia Tompkins, is a compelling exploration of memory, loss, and the haunting shadows of history. Maljartschuk's prose is poetic yet precise, weaving stories that echo with emotional depth and cultural complexity. Tompkins’ translation captures the delicate nuances of the original Ukrainian text, bringing forth its lyrical intensity and subtle power with remarkable fidelity.
Set against a backdrop of personal and collective trauma, Forgottenness delves into the transient nature of memory, the erasure of identities, and the resilience of the human spirit. The narrative navigates between past and present, blending intimate moments with broader historical reflections. This duality enriches the reading experience, inviting contemplation on how the past shapes and sometimes haunts the present.
The Rarest Fruit: The Life of Edmond Albius
by Gaelle Belem
Translated by Karen Fleetwood and Laetitia Saint Loubert
Through the elegant prose of Belem, and rendered with grace in English by Karen Fleetwood and Laetitia Saint Loubert, this narrative not only honors Albius’s remarkable contribution but also delves deeply into the socio-historical complexities of 19th-century Réunion. The book brings a vital perspective to the history of science, colonization, and the quiet courage of an extraordinary individual.
Without Waking Up
by Carolina Schuitti
Translated by Deirdre McMahon
In the quiet interstices of dawn, where dreams and reality intertwine, Carolina Schuitti’s Without Waking Up invites readers into a realm of delicate introspection and haunting lyricism. The text unfolds as a poignant meditation on consciousness, memory, and the fragile boundaries of the self. Schuitti’s prose is at once ethereal and grounded, capturing moments suspended in time—those that flicker at the edge of waking and sleep. Deirdre McMahon’s translation honors the subtle nuances of the original language, preserving the musicality and emotional resonance essential to Schuitti’s voice.
