The Center for the Art of Translation's new public home will provide translators and the literary community a place to gather, learn, and discover new global voices and perspectives for years to come. 🌟 Help us create a lighthouse for readers: www.catranslation.org/sf-literary-...

Graphic featuring a quote from Jazmina Barrera, National Book Award Finalist & Two Lines Press Author. Text reads: At a time when the founds for literature, for translation, for humanities all around the country are being cut, I see the Center for the Art of Translation as a refuge, but it also a lighthouse.

Losing Pete really hurts, more than Nimmo (who was overpaid), more than even Edwin. The only thing redeeming move would be if the front office miraculously got Junior Caminero (or someone of that calibur)
