I am always so impressed by the art of translation itself - the care translators must take to accurately convey the author's meaning in another language! This is a great list -- I just read "I Who Have Never Known Men" and "Thirst," which were both great translated works!

I am so tremendously happy when someone mentions polish literature 🫶 Olga Tokarczuk is great and I love the attention she gets in mainstream media lately but we have more amazing writers! I implore you to read Bruno Schultz, Wisława Szymborska (also a Nobel laureate), Witold Gombrowicz, Bolesław Prus and many more. It is all yours to explore
