Two Weeks In The Death Spiral Of Cardiff University, by an anonymous academic. This is truly shocking read. The Cardiff executive board should hang their heads in shame. voice.cymru/two-weeks-in...

This Saturday, February 22nd, is #IrelandReads - a national celebration of the simple joy of reading! We know that books have the power to take you places you never expected. Whether it’s a novel, a poem, or a few stolen minutes with a short story, squeezing in a read is always time well spent.

Great to see contemporary Irish literature translated into Euskera! Sally Rooney’s Normal People (trans. by Irene Aldasora) spotted in Obaba Liburuak, in Gernika, in the New Year.

This is very, very good, especially recommended for those of you liking your #womenintranslation. Schutti received the 2015 EU Prize for Literature for it. Translated by Deirdre McMahon, originally titled Einmal muss ich über weiches Gras gelaufen sein (Once I must have trodden soft grass).

Just out from Bullaun Press. I got an advance copy and thoroughly enjoyed it; the prose pops with vibrancy despite the hardships thrown at the central character - she's a force of nature!
