This Saturday, I'm going to polar plunge and read a very personal essay-translation that I've secretly worked on for ten years!
ALTA translators and Milwaukee folks come through! I'm [terrified but also] genuinely excited to hear every person in this lineup.

Wrote about Katrina Dodgson’s rollicking and inventive translation of Mario de Andrade’s classic Macunaíma; many thanks to @zerkperkem for his editorial fangs & CRB for publishing it
