So, August is Women in Translation Month. Who knew, eh?

Week, I did, because I ran across it on Twitter a few weeks back. It is being run by a book blog called Biblibio, and you can find an introductory post here.

I’m not going to promise to post every day because I’ll be stupidly busy for much of the month. However, this is an issue very close my my heart involving, as it does, the intersection between two marginalized groups: women writers, and non-Anglophone writers. I shall do my best. You may recall that I’m on a translation panel at Eurocon, and am also doing a GoH interview with a lady who happens to be a translator. I’ll also be reminding you of a few of my favorite translated novels and stories over the coming weeks.

Tomorrow the schedule asks people to blog about their favorite translated women writers. Yesterday I got a review copy of the latest English language book by one of mine, which I’ll be reading as part of the project. Can anyone guess what it is?
