Hopeless at following reading commands/invitations, but finished this remarkable novel just in time for the beginning of #WITmonth #womenintranslation.

The cover of the NYRB edition of Magda Szabó's novel The Fawn. A young woman, seen from above, sits, almost doubled over, as if she has been laughing, a cigarette in one hand and a saucer, presumably used as an ashtray, in the other. A marble statue stands behind her.
