A belated thank you to @davidwrites1.bsky.social for coming to talk to us on Monday about Oromay by Baalu Girma, which he co-translated from the Amharic with Mesfin Felleke Yirgu.
Wonderful @ldnreadsworld.bsky.social with @davidwrites1.bsky.social on Oromay x Baalu Girma.
Fascinating novel, fascinating context.
