Hello everyone! Happy Friday and welcome to the weekend. I’ve got an excellent weekend planned but am taking it easy tonight in bed with my books as it seems the week has caught up with me! Time for a book haul. Violent Phenomena is another addition to my @tiltedaxisbooks collection. I have a subscription with them and I’m always excited to find out what’s coming next. This is a book of essays in which 24 writers and translators from across the world share their ideas and practices for disrupting and decolonising translation. Coincidentally I’m about to start this second book today! I’m buddy reading this with a host of lovely bookstagrammers hosted by @pezzasclassicbooks and @celestes.bookshelf ☺️ This novel is the Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece and a powerful, triumphant portrayal of the American West as it really was. 🤠 Finally, my sister @chrissireads loaned me One Of The Girls to read after we read and enjoyed The Castaways together. This is the story of six friends enjoying a Greek holiday together. One is a liar, one is a stranger, one is a cheater, who is a killer? I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments! #bookstagram #scottishbookstagrammer #bookhaul #paperbackhaul #violentphenomena #tiltedaxispress #booksintranslation #kavitabhanot #jeremytiang #lonesomedove #larrymcmurtry #oneofthegirls #lucyclarke #newbooksplease #cantstopwontstopbuyingbooks #westernnovels #thrillernovelsallday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cik2yhGLwxy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here: If you plan to do a quick reading on this compilation of essay to be exact then drop your plan - I suggest! The 21 essays on translation written in this book aren't something you'll read in a glance. It's simply because they'll take you to the world of (literary) translation from both personal and professional perspectives. I sound a little bit like Bloom but I couldn't help myself but raise this question, “Shall we see (or enjoy) a piece of translation aesthetically or seeing the meaning behind each translated word written there which lead us to an ideological perspectives. I have given an example of how political and ideological a translation could be on my previous post on this book. I also mentioned Burton’s translations as an example which is also mentioned several times in this book. Yet I cannot neglect that there are plenty of literary translated works that I fall simply because of its translations. Here’s an example: Some of my #TiltedAxisTeam friends told me that Hamid Ismailov’s are not easy to be understood even they’re translated into English. In my case, I do fall for Ismailov simply because I can convey and relate to what he wrote through the English translation. Another example: I always adore Marguerite Duras! I always have my head over heels when it comes to Duras. But I do enjoy reading the translated version of L’amant - the Lover. I stock each word there as I put my heart on sleeve. Another interesting point is how this book points to the discussion of decolonisation through literary translation. An example is the translation of the Arabic words and the works of my love- a Saint Lucian poet Derek Walcott. Will elaborate more on the review on this book in my personal platform. Will keep you updated.

Memecah celengan rindu yang entah sejak kapan ditumpuk. Dan tentu saja gibah sabtu pagi yang bisa via telepon kini tumpah-ruah kayak banjir. Dari obrolan translasi yang kami baca di Violent Phenomena, the Woman in the Purple Skirt, dan tentu saja ... kami sedikit melankolis dengan puisi-puisi Fernando Pessoa. "Kisah kita lebih panjang dan pasti lebih panjang dari jalan...." Ah, terima kasih Mas Tepok @teguhafandi dan baby bear @shu.kho for the quick airport meeting. Let me know if you happen to his the farthest part of eastern Indonesia; I'll meet you at the border for some great laughter and some love.
