Up next on the reading schedule for September is Te****le by Rita Indiana, translated from the Spanish by Achy Obejas from .

Synopsis: Plucked from her life on the streets of post-apocalyptic Santo Domingo, young maid Acilde Figueroa finds herself at the heart of a Santería prophecy: only she can travel back in time and save the ocean – and humanity – from disaster. But first she must become the man she always was – with the help of a sacred anemone. Te****le is an electric novel with a big appetite and a brave vision, plunging headfirst into questions of climate change, technology, Yoruba ritual, q***r politics, poverty, s*x, colonialism and contemporary art. Bursting with punk energy and lyricism, it’s a restless, addictive trip: The Tempest meets the telenovela.

QOTD - How has your reading been so this year?

No new episode today. Happy Labor Day!

08/07/2023

Hello July! This month, we're reading Sphinx by Anne Garréta, translated from the French by Emma Ramadan from .

Synopsis: A beautiful and complex love story between two characters, the narrator, "I," and their lover, A***, written without using any gender markers to refer to the main characters, Sphinx is a remarkable linguistic feat and paragon of experimental literature that has never been accomplished before or since in the strictly-gendered French language. Sphinx is a landmark text in the feminist, LGBT, and experimental literary canons appearing in English for the first time.

Fun fact about this author and book: Sphinx is the remarkable debut novel, originally published in 1986, by the incredibly talented and inventive French author Anne Garréta, one of the few female members of Oulipo, the influential and exclusive French experimental literary group whose mission is to create literature based on mathematical and linguistic restraints, and whose ranks include Georges Perec and Italo Calvino, among others.

QOTD - Have you ever heard of Oulipo (sometimes written OuLiPo)?

Synopsis: The first anthology of short fiction by Afghan women. Eighteen writers tell stories that are both unique and universal - stories of family, work, childhood, friendship, war, gender identity and cultural traditions.

QOTD - Have you read any books by Afghan authors? Share with us in the comments.

Hi Friends. In this episode of TBR Lowdown:

Highlights:

🎙 Of course we believe The Prophets will become a modern classic.
🎙 Is The Secret History really a modern classic?
🎙 We hope modern classics become more inclusive over the years.

Hi Friends. In this episode of TBR Lowdown:

We get spicy and talk about popular books we hate.

All books can’t be winners right. Sometimes books that are not winners for us, are popular books that everybody loves. We’re all adults here, so we don’t need to tell you not to get butt-hurt if your favorite book is on our list right???? OK then. Let’s have some fun.

Highlights:

🎙 Alyssa is mad y’all love this book that’s about a clock!
🎙 It sucks being excited about a book and then thoroughly loathing it after reading it.
🎙 Why do people feel bad for not liking popular books?

Hi Friends. In this episode of TBR Lowdown:

We discuss our April book club pick, Battle Royale by Koushun Takami, translated from the Japanese by Yuji Oniki.

Battle Royale has been deemed a cult classic, so we had to see what all the fuss was about. Will it meet our expectations or will it fall flat for our reading tastes?

Highlights:

🎙 We question what actually makes a book a cult classic.
🎙 Can there be too many characters in a book?
🎙 Reading multiple books in translation from the same translator.

We at just like many of you, have our eyes fixed to the news and social media since the horrific announcement that the Supreme Court is potentially overturning Roe v. Wade. We have shed so many tears as we watch the public cry out and fight to keep politicians out of our uteruses. It is terrifying and overwhelming to watch our rights slip through our fingers. We’ve been trying to find a way to fight back and we’ve decided to raise funds for

Abortion Care Network was founded in 2008. It is the national association for independent community-based, abortion care providers and their allies. They work to ensure the rights of all people to experience respectful, dignified abortion care.
Independent abortion providers care for the majority of people seeking abortion in the U.S. – often serving individuals and families with the fewest resources and in the most rural parts of our nation.

“As a community who fights for what’s right, we are committed to becoming better allies internally, organizationally and movement-wide by helping to develop accountable leadership and building broader movements for reproductive, social, and economic justice.”

Join us as we support some of the people working in our communities here in the US to help keep women safe. Abortion is healthcare!
