Every time I go to the library for one book, I leave with at least four! And I own probably 100 books I have not read yet.

Though I’m on a temporary book borrowing ban until the end of semester. Will definitely pick it up when I’m in a mood for a gritty read. Translators are amazing.

I have attempted to learn Japanese in my adult life but I do not have the time (or the speaking community) to do it. It’s still a dream of mine…

This sounds amazing. I often get the sense that translations lose something, but I wouldn’t be able to compare them to the originals because I am monolingual (sadly–it’s my biggest regret in life and something I determined to change for my children).

Recently, I was doing an ice breaker with students “What superpower do you want?” and the student said to be able to speak / read / understand all languages. And I was just like… YESSSSSS!

Just checked and Scribd even has it in their catalogue, yay! You’re making a great case for the translation, too, so happy to hear Dillon is as talented as the writer. I do wish I could just read everything in the original, but thankfully translations are getting better and translators their dues!

I am excited to read more of Herrera’s work as well as other contemporary authors coming out of Mexico’s literary scene.
