kimdorman.bsky.social @kimdorman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Gurnah, Ernaux, Fosse, Kang, Krasznahorkai all became available in Indian bookshops, but Glück never did - is it because she was American? or a poet (instead of novelist)? Since most of Carson's books are published by New Directions (never seen a ND book here), I have doubts Carson will be found. 000
