@stargirlsdiary: 🇸🇳🇹🇷🇮🇹🇮🇶🇧🇪🇩🇪🇧🇷🇭🇺 i’ve learned that I especially love reading women in translation. i’ve unexpectedly felt so validated and seen in some of these books in the tiniest of ways. it makes me think about how universal our experiences (as women and humans) are. i like that this project has made me feel more connected in that way. the struggles that some of these women go through in the novels (that are often semi-autobiographical) really touches me. i feel grateful to be able to read their perspectives, especially since i might not have found their books without this project otherwise. 📖 books: 1) so long a letter — mariama bâ 🇸🇳 2) the door — magda szabo🇭🇺 3) frankenstein in baghdad — ahmed saadawi🇮🇶 4) the days of abandonment — elena ferrante🇮🇹 5) agua viva — clarice lispector🇧🇷 6) madonna in a fur coat — sabahattin ali🇹🇷 7) siddhartha — hermann hesse🇩🇪 8) i who have never known men — j harpman🇧🇪 I’m excited to read more from other countries!!! looking for recommendations so if you have any please share! 🤍 #readingaroundtheworld #translatedfiction
