The Operating System to publish Alparegho
The
Operating System has selected Alparegho,
like nothing else, my translation of Hélène Sanguinetti’s third book,
for its Unsilenced Texts series. The OS, named among the Best
of 2017 Presses by Entropy Magazine,
will publish a dual-language version in 2019. Many thanks to publisher Lynne
DeSilva-Johnson for making this timely and heart-wrenching quest for identity
available to English readers!
