My father died in January of 2020, in Budapest. My sister and I weren't able to get there for his funeral, and weren't able to hold a memorial here. He was, among other things, a literary translator. I have read far too few books in translation. So I've decided to circle the globe (figuratively) reading 84 books in translation, one for every year of his life. We'll both start and end in Hungary, as he did. I'm going to be reading one every week or two, and then starting a conversation on social media -- primarily Twitter, but Facebook and Instagram too, with the hashtag #AroundTheWorldIn84Books. If you want to join me, just read the book and then join me on social media that day, or later. For the booklist- head to the “84 Books” Highlight on my profile, or the link in my bio. I'll be starting with Madga Szabo's THE DOOR on October 2nd.
