Fabulous news!! What a book this was 😮💨. We owe so much Hungarian literature in translation to @caringerel 🖤
Positively delighted to share that EYE OF THE MONKEY by Krisztina Tóth, translated from the Hungarian by Ottilie Mulzet (@caringerel), was shortlisted (!!!) for the 2026 Warwick Prize for Women in Translation (@WarwickPrizeWiT)!

‘I’ve always wanted to take pictures from the moment my dad helped steady his Rolleiflex in my shakey little hands while I took my first picture. His death greatly influenced why and what I see, and how I photograph it’.

"After John Cage has done four and a half minutes of silence, the task of the avant-garde is not to then do five minutes of silence. That’s kitsch."

Ditto Spanish. One night in Berlin, I had to choose which of five Spanish-language book launches to attend.

Across from Luskentyre on Harris, in the Outer Hebrides. Pink clouds over the hills, turquoise water and miles of white sand. It's one of my favourite places to photograph anywhere.
Would you believe this is the UK?

This story is bigger than a book simply being cancelled.
Penguin Random House pulled Alana Hadid and Jenan Matari’s book about the Palestinian experience after clashing with them over how to tell Palestine’s story.
Apparently, even a children’s book about Palestine needs a disclaimer making sure everyone knows October 7 was illegal, while the Nakba, occupation and decades of dispossession are up for editorial debate.
Alana and Jenin eventually walked away rather than publish a version they couldn’t stand behind.
Imagine having to fight a publisher just to tell your own people’s story.
Thankfully, Palestinian-owned Interlink Books will publish it in 2027.
