In July, I contributed to a special issue of @strangehorizons.bsky.social on speculative fiction in translation, including my review of THE FAKE MUSE by Max Besora (tr. Mara Faye Lethem for @openletterbooks.bsky.social). A wild ride. Check out the whole issue. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

The Fake Muse by Max Besora, translated by Mara Faye Lethem

Metatextual, stylistically dexterous, and formally deviant, The Fake Muse is the rare novel that feels genuinely novel.

Laura's THE RIVER means so much to me. To see it on the 2026 PEN Translation Prize longlist, and in such good company, is thrilling—and the cherry on top of this year!

For BOMB's staff picks, I recommended THE RED HANDLER by Johan Harstad (@openletterbooks.bsky.social), a supremely inventive crime novel—or maybe it's fictional meta-crimefiction? Find more excellent picks from my wonderful colleagues at @bombmag.bsky.social! bombmagazine.org/articles/202...
