Just finished reading @ericscottryon.bsky.social's debut novel I'M THE UNDERTOW, set in California's central coast. It made me think a lot, it made me feel a lot!

A clarification: Betty doesn't publish translations. If I am the only Betty author you know, and you know I am a literary translator, you may have assumed so.

Bruna Dantas Lobato wrote an excellent introduction to this folio she organized for New Englad Review of works by authors from the northeast of Brazil. I'm thrilled to have my translation of a story by Marilia Arnaud in this issue & grateful to Bruna for the invitation.
