Europeana has arrived from ⁦Dalkey Archive⁩. ✨

Miquel de Palol, Isona Passola, Javier Garcia del Moral, Jorge Carrión in Barcelona this evening.

Barely even started and I’m already wondering how in the world to best mark passages in this book. Feel like my options are either burn through a pack of tabs every 5 pages or underline 90% of what I read. Maybe it would be easier to only mark the passages that aren’t amazing?

Paul Yamasaki has been so supportive of my fictions even before I published my first novel.

I used to attend lots of events City Lights Books and eventually someone invited me to drinks afterwards.

It’s an honor for me to appear in his By The Book.

Honored by a shoutout from the absolute legend that is Paul Yamazaki! There is no greater reader or champion of literature.

Paul Yamazaki, a legend without peers, is reading Mauro Javier Cárdenas’s AMERICAN ABDUCTIONS. We suggest you do the same.

Our rights director Sarah is in Dallas, “mining the Dalkey archive.”

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about my use of AI in AMERICAN ABDUCTIONS, my 3rd novel

And Nick Hilden has done a terrific job of answering most of these questions for Nautilus Magazine

🫡🇫🇷📚 So grateful my Deep Vellum & Deep Vellum Books colleagues attended last night, none of this is possible without a true Herculean team effort. And the whole joy of bringing French & francophone literature to readers is made possible through incredible literary translators 🙏

Éditeur. Traducteur. Libraire. Chevalier!
Last night in Dallas, our founder & publisher Will Evans was made a Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters, “for being such a great ambassador for French-speaking literature in the US.” Félicitations, Will! 🇫🇷🎖️🫡

our boss is a French knight!

but the scone is for me

I read Morning and Evening, by Jon Fosse (2000; Dalkey Archive, 2015), and A Silent Language, his 2023 Nobel Prize lecture (Transit Books, 2024), both translated by Damion Searls.
I confess, Morning and Evening triggered my lacrimal apparatus.
