hello tumblr people who read books originally written in languages other than english, i have a request

i have to write a book review for my reading in translation module at the end of november and i’m trying to find a book to use for it. i’ve not (to my knowledge) read any books that have been translated to english from another language - besides one i also read in its original spanish but i don’t wanna use that for this - so i have literally no ideas.

basically i’m looking for book recs, it’s a translation to english i’ll need to use but if you don’t know whether it’s been translated that’s fine i can easily find out myself :) thank you to anyone who helps! <3

#preferably quite a short book so i know i’ll be able to read it in time without too much stress #also it could be a kids book or collection of short stories they’re cool too #what i’ve had to read so far for the module are a couple of feminist retellings of traditional japanese ghosts stories #from a short story collection of such retellings #and the first few chapters of the catalan book la plaça del diamant #(two english translations one of which gave it a different title)#generally what i read is queer romance and dark academia that kind of vibe #some fantasy #i’ve also been enjoying reading classics over the last few years but we’re advised not to use any sort of classic for this module #because then so many people will have opinions on it that it’s difficult to come up with new ones of your own #okay i think that’s all the relevant information?#bookblr #langblr #translation

fun discovery from today's internet rabbit hole:

the first lesbian magazine published in the US, Vice Versa (1947-48), was entirely hand-typed by one Edythe Eyde (better known by her pen name Lisa Ben - yes, that IS an anagram for lesbian). she worked as a secretary with a ton of spare time on her hands, and her boss would tell her he didn't care what she was doing so long as she "looked busy"... so she decided to use her free time to type out copies of a home-made periodical for lesbians, writing most of the content - editorials, book/film reviews, poetry, short stories, and more - herself!

overall, the magazine ran for 9 issues, 16 hand-typed copies of which lisa would mail to friends (well, until one of them advised her she could be arrested for sending "obscene" materials) and distribute at lesbian bars :)

#she was also an avid science fiction/fantasy fan and frequent contributor to scifi fanzines!#and so was the co-founder of the first (US) gay periodical #completely unrelated i just thought that's neat :)#.txt #i'll be adding some links in a sec

Mlp infected aus that just erase Discord from existence is so funny, he would shut that shit down so fast. Not even all that for the sake of friendship or whatever he’d see it and be like erm… not really my cup of chaos, this is just gross (snap, fixed)

#my little pony #discord #mlp discord #discord mlp #he’d be like this bit is not funny #all zeros from the judges you’re out #it’s also inconveniencing/upsetting fluttershy #saw one version where discord had put fluttershy to sleep/in some fantasy land where everything was normal #the idea of him just skeddadling with fluttershy is equally funny what is wrong with you #skedadding* whatever #jabber

i firmly hold that it's my duty as a reader to believe it when an author tells me at the beginning of the series that the dragons are gone forever and never coming back. but god it's a struggle sometimes.

#that is: i don't think it's fair to hold that kind of genre knowledge against a specific instance of it #not even because while i've read hundreds of bad fantasy novels someone else might not have read any #but because hm. 'the dragons are gone' is the foundation of a kind of feeling - discovery; renewal; awakening -#there's not a way to get the feeling later on without laying the foundation #so even if the foundation feels like busywork for me the reader #it has to be there in some form or other
