Marie Claire's Best Books of the Year on @angelotijssens.bsky.social THE EDGES (tr. @michehut.bsky.social): It 'explores that [coming-of-age] duality – the push-me-pull-me hesitancy between child and adult, between who we wish to be seen as and what we are desperate to hide – beautifully.'

Gorgeous BOTW review from Queerly Books for @angelotijssens.bsky.social's THE EDGES (tr @michehut.bsky.social): 'Its themes resonated with me in a way that few novels do—raw yet tender, it explores masculinity, intimacy, and the quiet spaces where love survives.' www.instagram.com/p/DFcv1mjiF_...

I've been pondering the discrepancy between perceived success and financial precarity as a literary translator. People come up to me and say, "Wow, you're doing so well! You won a big prize! It's wonderful to see you so successful!" At which point I freeze awkwardly. Um, define success? ->

Many great translators and translated titles on these short lists, but it’s always exciting to see which ones I completely missed. (That said, I’m really pulling for Christina MacSweeney and Michele Hutchison, as those two spectacular translations were among my favorites of the year.)
