Stefan from &otherstories e-mail me a while ago about their group and its project ,which includes group reads of books in the original language to pick books to be translated in to english the is a great choice of groups with books from spain ,Lithuania and Argentina ,The writers they ve choose all seem to be highly talented writers having won awards in their own country .Lithuania has a booming lit scene post communism like the other Baltic states and the chance to get to read in english will be great .please all look at their site or join the good reads group and find out what is going on in this new NON PROFIT publisher .They are also looking for volunteers to help them along the way so I m sure Stefan and the other from &other stories will be pleased to hear from you .they are also on twitter .
Very cool Stu, I’m glad you posted about this.
thanks amy
More translated works would be a boon, so I hope this project takes off. For example, it would be wonderful if my son, whose heritage is half-Lithuanian, had some works available from the country where his father’s kin once lived.
thats great sure he ll find something via them ,all the best stu
Love Roberto Bolano, so more latin american, & any other translated lit is a bonus. so have joined the good reads group.
great parish stefan and the guys doing a great job with small latin american writers ,all the best stu

PS: our summer reading groups on Spanish-language and Lithuanian writers are still going on until mid-September. Be lovely to hear what people think of the writers!
