@fsgbooks @DandQ Book 5: Manto & I by Nandita Das

There are 50 days until #WITMonth begins! And since of course recognizing #womenintranslation should not be a fixture of August alone, this thread will feature one woman writer from around the world for the next 50 days!
#WITMonth Countdown Day 50: Trifonia Melibea Obono from Equatorial Guinea, translated from Spanish by @lawrenceschimel! LA BASTARDA is a great choice for #PrideMonth as well, a slim novella that more than carries its weight.
#WITMonth Countdown Day 49: Rania Mamoun is a Sudanese writer and journalist, whose THIRTEEN MONTHS OF SUNRISE was recently translated from Arabic into English by @lissiejaquette!
