The Tollbooth: Violence Redeeming: Collected Short Stories 2009 - 2011

---

Although I love Herta Muller, I am not sure if she is fully representative of Romanian literature — mainly because she writes and has always written in German. For a good feel for contemporary Romanian style of writing, I would recommend Mircea Cartarescu, poet, novelist and essayist.

Sorkin, published in NY. Hi there, just followed a link from a comment you left on the Guardian books site. Looks like an interesting project. Laos looked an interesting bet so I did a bit of research and I reckon you should try Mothers Beloved by Outhine Bounyavong. Looking forward to seeing what you think of it, if you choose to read it.. I really appreciate you taking the time to do some research on my behalf.

How is the reading going? The reading is going well. You could try something by Carl De Souza. I do read French, but for the purposes of this project, I am only reading books in English translation. Any other Mauritian suggestions would be fab though…. Thanks Kalin — sounds great. World literature lives or dies by the skill of the people who relay it from one language to another.

Thanks for stopping by. And, ah, there were more ingredients in the magic potion, but now my memory refuses to reveal them. Hi, Greetings from Ecuador! I am very happy to hear about this amazing initiative. It is an amazing story, very contextual to the history of my country. All of these are Men Booker Prize winners —. I really enjoyed them when I read them too. These books are very famous in the UK as well. I just found this blog and will definitely bee following it in the future. Most of the book titles are in english, but the country names are in swedish. You should be able to guess most of them, but to make it a bit easier: Latvia and many of the ones that start with C in english start with K in swedish.

Montecore, by Jonas Hassen Khemiri is a really interesting book about tunisian immigrants in Sweden that has recently been translated to english. Thanks very much for getting in touch. I look forward to studying your list. Thanks very much for your Swedish suggestion. Blends an enganing contemporary story with wonderful fables. And New Finnish Grammar by Diego Marani — which, despite the intriguing title, is a novel about a sailor who loses his memory. Pereira Maintains sounds great. Hi just read guardian piece and check list think couple your blanks may have I ve cover 81 countries so far on my blog I specialise in translated fiction and other world lit will add your blog to my reader.

Watch Them Go Down http: Der durchsichtige Tamir only available in German Namibia: Kisses in the Nederends http: Gutsini Posa Rough Seas http: Thanks very much — lots to go on here. I will look into your suggestions though — who knows, someone may have an unpublished translation up their sleeves or suggestions of other related books…. A very poignant psychological novel, showing the history of post-war Norway through the lives of a few generations in one family.

The Sebald sounds very interesting. I had to jump in and second the suggestion of WG Sebald. I have not read his Rings of Saturn, but would highly recommend his novel Austerlitz which is one of the most beautiful and moving novels I have ever read. Sebald, though German, lived and taught at a University in England. He died in a car crash shortly after publishing this novel and has become somewhat of a cult figure. The novel is written in a unique style where photographs of things and places are interspersed throughout the story, blurring the line between fiction and reality.

The story is of a young German boy, whose Jewish parents send him to England to escape the Holocaust. He recounts his story to the narrator whom he first meets at the Austerlitz train station in Brussels, years later. The language of the book is so poetic and the tone, very spiritual. Madagascar has little literature in translation although Claude Simon, Nobel laureate, was born in Madagascar when it was still a French colony.

I noticed that you have the Philippines on your travel list but no books listed. Your reading project is impressive — and clearly brings you much joy. This is pretty cool! It makes my reading list of classics minuscule. Good luck with this project, and congratulations on the work that you have already completed! From New Zealand, much debate in the house right now. It was made into a chilling film in the mid-nineties that had a ripple effect on the country that we still feel today. This compact novel was the first published by a Maori in , and my own first edition copy takes pride of place on my bookshelf.

And for all of this, with a little research, you will see there is a clear bias in my recommendations.

See a Problem?

I will send this link to my MIL who will no doubt suggest some of our great names in classical literature such as Janet Frame, Katherine Mansfield. Good luck and I look forward to more reviews! Mine is at http: We overlap a fair amount, but not entirely. Good to hear from a fellow literary globetrotter. How long did it take you to get round? I finished yesterday, so around 4. Should you by any chance be looking for more books from Finland, there is more accurately was a writer of historical fiction called Mika Waltari, who was popular enough mid 20th C for a few of his translated works to be kicking around English second hand shops — and to be easly available via Amazon.

Although I guess reading a book about Ancient Egypt by a Finn might not be the best way to get to know either culture…. My Andorran book was actually on that topic. Thanks very much for your comment. I know of someone that tried to do this for the Beijing Olympics.

Her list can be viewed here. Like Hosseini, he may no longer live in Afghanistan but his fiction tells more of the country rather than seek to tug at heartstrings. I reviewed it a number of years back on my old blog see here. Pleased to see you have Augusto Monterroso pencilled in for Guatemala. However, the best thing about this is the exposure to so many different cultures that bring to the table so many — at least to our culture — fresh ideas. Although it at least fosters a foothold for publishers to get in the game, giving more choice.

Ultimately, people can really benefit from reading around the world. Writers, I would hope, even more so. Writers beyond their cultures. Yet, so little does it seem reciprocated, leaving us with book shops filled with boring English language fiction that is little more than navel-gazing twaddle…and newspapers swooning over it. Thanks for picking me up on the Oksanen — will amend. Maybe this is a sign that it should be my Hungarian pick….

Will add your other suggestions on too so others can check them out. Thanks for taking the time to comment. The Karinthy is a good alternative. Yes, Under the Frog has been a controversial one. There seems to be split opinion about whether it can be classed as Hungarian…. I would like to send you a book that will add the Para-Olympics to your wonderful list. Please email a postal address to me. For some of the popular titles here in India — http: What a simply superb project, I am so excited to read the suggestions and the comments are such a value addition.

I am going to spend my entire spare money on what I havent read so far, from your list, i guess. I am from India, and I note that both the suggestions in comments and your list for India reads are those written originally in English. I have to say these are just second best to what regional literature we have here in over 23 official languages and a couple of hundreds of other languages spoken across the country.

Penguin India has published both these writers in translation if I remember right. Or check with the publications of the Central Sahitya Akademi, the government wing that gives the annual writing awards. They publish all award winners in translation to English. So you have a choice for an entire new year of reading.

Other than this, I was surprised to find that the Algerian writer Yasmina Khadra was not on your list. Actually it isnt a she its a he that writes under the name Yasmina. Thank you very much for this Suneetha. I shall add them to the list. India is without question going to be one of my most difficult choices. It has such a rich and varied literary tradition that I could easily spend a decade just reading Indian books.

He is one of the very best-known writers in English within India, but he is virtually unknown without. This is rather sad, given that he has such enormous talent, but I suspect there are a number of reasons for it: His style is crisp and pared back, almost Hemingway-esque without the machismo. He has a wry naughtiness on par with Roald Dahl, and his short stories are perfectly formed little nuggets — either wickedly funny, or with gut-punch impact. The Portrait of a Lady: The Collected Short Stories, would be a good choice, but better still would be his magnificent little novel Train to Pakistan, the single greatest literary response to the partition of India, angry and erudite but with a very simple presentation.

I read it in one sitting first time around, and the final page had me physically trembling…. Khushwant Singh sounds great. Who knows, I may even mention your comment in my post!

196 countries, countless stories…

Anyway, this inspired me to maybe try and keep a list like that. I want to visit every country in the world so figures I could try and read a book from every country first: You have just made my day. For some reason, there seem to be loads of Czech authors whose works have been translated but very few Slovakians — do you have any idea why this might be? So the czechs made an impact with writers like Kundera who became immensely popular in the western world not so much in czech republic as he was a commie when young and Kundera is trying to hide it. So the czechs made an impact and were relatively popular, however few years after the velvet revolution the western media stopped caring about these countries, and the publicity stopped.

The czechs were already known and in demand, they were bohemian after all, and were better at selling themselves. I did the Slavonic studies module which was great fun although they talked about Czechoslovakia there was rarely ever mention about any slovaks, even though the module included hungary who are anything but slavs. It is a great book and it was recently on at the National Theatre. Thanks very much Michelle. I love your blog! For the Philippines, you must read Ilustrado by Miguel Syjuco.

Thanks for a great site. Really enjoying myself, definitely adding to my to-read pile. Brilliant stuff — just the encouragement I need as I get in from an evening out and sit down to being the next post…. This site will be very useful to you, because we are doing something similar.

I am from Hungary, so I looked at your Hungarian choices with special curiosity, it was interesting to see, what would someone from an other country choose to read.

I have to say, you made some very nice picks there! It is a very powerful book. If you need some inspiration for Dutch books, I have a new blog focussing on Dutch Literature: I would definitely put Discovery of Heaven by Harry Mulish on your list. And if you can find it Out of Mind by Bernlef, very powerful book!

Thanks very much for these. I am thrilled to find your blog! Wow, what a great and ambitious reading list! I was happy to find some books under Oman, where I am living now as an expat. I will have to get my hands on those books. Are you only reading novels, because the true story Eleni Greece is amazing as well. I look forward to following your quest. I too love reading books that are set in other countries, written either by native writers or expats who have traveled or lived in those countries. But my list is determined by my travel dreams. Good to hear from you. Wow, Oman must be a fascinating place to live.

Oh dear, I realized after I sent the comment that you were probably only including native writers. He actually was born and lived in Greece until he was 9 or 10, at which time his mother sent him away to America to his father. Because the Communists in Greece were taking children from their parents to indoctrinate them in Soviet bloc countries, she defied them and snuck Nicholas away. For that she was killed and this is the story of her life.

So I would consider him a native writer. But it definitely has been an experience! A Year of Reading the World. I have begun a similar project. I am restricting myself to short stories.

If you have a look at my post on Mozambique https: All the best for Lovely to meet another Cantabrigian in the blogosphere I went to Newnham.

It reads more like a story than a poem, and is a reasonably short book although deeply moving. See some information here: Thanks — nice to meet you too. The poem sounds interesting. A magnificent project, Ann. The Girl in the Mirror. Afghanistan — The Bookseller of Kabul — written by a Norwegian journalist Asne Seierstad though, so not sure where or if it would fit in.

Is it possible for you to host them somewhere so that the rest of us could read?

Mary Prince, born in Devonshire, Bermuda- the freed slave and anti-slavery agitator wrote her autobiography, which greatly influenced UK Parliament to rid the colonies of this trade. I read books from UN-recognised sovereign states plus former UN member Taiwan , which is why Bermuda is not on the list, a personal regret for me as I know the place well.

India is certainly an incredibly rich nation for stories! I have now added many of the books mentioned to my own reading list. This must have been an exhilarating, fulfilling experience for you.
