Ravickians
Ravickians | Renee Gladman
1 post | 1 read
Fiction. LGBT Studies. African American Studies. The second volume of Gladman's Ravicka trilogy continues the author's profound meditation upon translation and the ephemeral. THE RAVICKIANS narrates the day-long odyssey of Luswage Amini, the Great Ravickian Novelist, who journeys through the city to attend the reading of an old friend. Where the earlier volume, EVENT FACTORY, explores Ravicka from the outside, via a visitor's attempt to understand and interpret that city's irreducible strangeness, THE RAVICKIANS faces the problem of translation from the perspective of an insider who struggles, throughout her account, to make plain the political and personal crises of Ravickian life that she knows to be untranslatable.

Book confession: I had a weak moment and bought all the Dorothy books. Now I'm sorting them to see if any fit my reading goals for the year, beyond the obvious, read more indie press books! #bookhaul http://dorothyproject.com/books-gallery/

ReadingEnvy @NerdyRev You are welcome! They are widely varied and I think four are translated works, some short stories, some novels. Only one author I'd ever read before. 8y
