I wish I had some little kids to teach this poem by Csukás István, The Sky-High Watermelon Tree. I posted my English rendering of this story today in case you are intrigued. andreabhellman.substack.com/p/under-the-... #Hungary #Hungarianliterature #kidlit

I've spent the past few months living with Martin Hale. After translating his adventures, redesigning his cover, and adding illustrations, I feel as though I've come to know him. I suspect that many readers, after meeting Martin, will feel the same way. www.amazon.com/Martin-Hale-... #DunaBooks

One pile from my publishing company, Duna Books and the other from my suitcase from Hungary. Who can name one important difference between the two stacks? Könyvek a kiadómtól és könyvek a bőröndömből. Ki talál a két köteg között egy fontos különbséget? #DunaBooks #magyar #könyvek

I noticed an ad on the CNN website that was advertising the bookseller Moby the Great. They picked my book, A Count by Chance, to feature in their advertisement. The first novel that I published under my Duna Books label. Thanks Moby! That's really Great! #DunaBooks #MobytheGreat a.co/d/3AghN5J

The irony of the placement of her story would not be lost on the Soviet art curator Irina Zubova. Now if she could only get readers to engage with it. bit.ly/TheArtofBelo... #Savistsky #Sovieteducated #immigrantstory #newrelease #firstnovel #TheArtofBelongingNowhere

Look at her now. Irina Zubova, posing between Dostoevsky and Bulgakov like she belongs there. Six months ago she was face-down on a bathroom floor with a bottle. Now here she is on Amazon's virtual shelf, posing with the masters like some literary debutante. bit.ly/TheArtofBelo... #immigrationnovel

Been off here, buried in my first novel. The book is called "The Art of Belonging Nowhere." It's about a 44-year-old Russian curator, recovery, friendship, and what it means to finally show up in your own life. Messy and honest in all the ways that matter. Who wants to read it when it's ready?
