Really happy about how Alex Booth's translation turned out. It should be delivered from the printer in a couple of weeks.

Cannot recommend enough these two excellent translations of Friederike Mayröcker by @wordkunst.bsky.social. She was close to Gerhard Rühm, and we look forward to the printer delivering Alex's translation of Cake & Prostheses around the end of November. It's a good one.
