✨ FAIR is Book of the Day in The Guardian ✨ theguardian.com/books/2025/jul…

So pleased that @niewview will be returning to @vocebooks in conversation with Sana Goyal in October: eventbrite.co.uk/e/jen-calleja-…

The City and The World by Gregor Hens (trans. Jen Calleja) (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) Loved this! A style of writing I really enjoy and such interesting content, a lot of it has stuck with me. Vaguely experimental but not in a pretentious way. Really want to read more of his work now.

Oh, I just LOVED the description of the ideal translators' co-working space in @niewview's Fair! Can I come and visit occasionally too, please, please?

Translated fiction is booming in the UK—but are translators getting their fair share of the credit? Two new books—a collaboration between JM Coetzee and his translator Mariana Dimópulos, and Jen Calleja's new memoir—challenge tired tropes of translation: observer.co.uk/culture/books/…
