Today is #pubday for not one, but TWO of my translations: @marclevyofficiel.bsky.social's THE BOOKSHOP OF FORBIDDEN BOOKS and Nincemon Fallé's prizewinning THESE BLAZING SUNS. One is the story of a bookseller arrested for selling banned books; the other a coming-of-age tale set in Cote d'Ivoire.

Trump is a toxic waste dump of the worst of human character. His greed, corruption, ego, stupidity, arrogance, cruelty, prejudice, and active contempt for virtue, the law and people are manifest daily in ways that are destroying our institutions and our country. And he is getting worse daily.
