Publishing translated literature in Dallas, Texas. About. Three Percent launched in the summer of 2007 with the lofty goal of becoming a destination for readers, editors, and translators interested in finding out about modern and contemporary international literature.
The motivating force behind the website is the view that reading literature from other countries is vital to maintaining a vibrant book culture and to increasing the exchange of ideas among cultures.

No matter the size or the neighborhood, they are all imbued, at least a little bit, with an aura of indignation. This is due, in part, to the ridiculously high cost of real estate in Manhattan—the most modest apartment can be the source of an almost dynastic pride, while the most immodest palace exists in a state of inevitable eclipse by one that is more grand, of which it may have a view. But the Napoleonic feeling can’t be distilled entirely from issues of money and status. Its source, I think, involves the interlocking issues of possessions and privacy. You are so grateful to escape the relentless theatricality of being in New York’s public spaces that an apartment becomes a fortress of the personal. And yet apartments nevertheless share certain qualities with stage sets—each room, even a bathroom, is a scenario into which people exit and enter. As far as I could tell, the apartment was silent. Gertie Turns One Hundred. “The Giving Tree” at Fifty: Sadder Than I Remembered.
A few weeks ago, rummaging around the Strand, I came across a fiftieth-anniversary edition of Shel Silverstein’s “The Giving Tree.”
It had the fern-green cover familiar from childhood, the same oversized dimensions, the same appealing sketch on its front—a squiggly drawing of a tall tree, its top spilling off the page, and a little boy, looking up at it. Civilization without Sexes: Reconstructing Gender in Postwar France, 1917-1927 - Mary Louise Roberts - Google Books. AMANDA FILIPACCHI. War, a Short Story by Luigi Pirandello. The passengers who had left Rome by the night express had had to stop until dawn at the small station of Fabriano in order to continue their journey by the small old-fashioned local joining the main line with Sulmona.
At dawn, in a stuffy and smoky second-class carriage in which five people had already spent the night, a bulky woman in deep mourning was hosted in—almost like a shapeless bundle. Behind her—puffing and moaning, followed her husband—a tiny man; thin and weakly, his face death-white, his eyes small and bright and looking shy and uneasy. Having at last taken a seat he politely thanked the passengers who had helped his wife and who had made room for her; then he turned round to the woman trying to pull down the collar of her coat and politely inquired:

Mavis Gallant’s Spanish Diary Excerpts. In 1950, at the age of twenty-eight, Mavis Gallant left a job as a journalist in Montreal and moved to Paris.
She published her first short story in The New Yorker in 1951, and spent the next decade travelling around Europe, from city to city, from hotel to pension to rented apartment, while working on her fiction. The following excerpts from her diary cover March to June, 1952, when Gallant was living hand to mouth in Spain, giving English lessons and anxiously waiting for payment for her New Yorker stories to arrive via her literary agent, Jacques Chambrun.

Jorge Luis Borges’ 1967-8 Norton Lectures On Poetry (And Everything Else Literary) Like most literary geeks, I've read a lot of Jorge Luis Borges.

Portal 9. Children’s bedtime stories are the best stimulus of imagination, for what children learn is permanent and solid, like a stone carving. Jean Piaget, one of the experts who support this claim, has demonstrated the significance of children’s reception of stories and their ability to recount and to exchange them with their peers, without the mediation of adults. Kako do sopstvene knjige? Nemačka izgubila svog "književnog papu" Dear God, Your Message Was Received in Error - Asymptote. In Borges' story, "Averroës' Search," Averroës interrupts his long day of contemplating the problem that confronts him in Aristotle's Poetics (how to translate 'tragedy' and 'comedy' into Arabic) and joins friends for dinner.
The Andalusian philosopher seems to be listening (against hope or "without conviction" as Borges put it) for a solution to his problem in something that any of his guests might say. Maybe the answer is "near at hand" or, as in Lydia Davis' "The Walk," right "across the street. " As the conversation meanders through various subjects about writing, God, and art, one of Averroës' guests brings up the account of the seven sleepers: Did Ibn Rushd really not know what a play was?
