Go Susan Bernofsky! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

I’m so excited to finally see my translation of Hijab Imtiaz Ali’s story “Oh, Fangèd Night” (Shab-guzida) in Samovar Magazine, the translation arm of Strange Horizons 🌒. I just love Hijab’s playfully tongue in cheek horror, and I hope you do too 🧿.

Anne Frank said “what is done cannot be undone but one can prevent it from happening again”. Sadly, we have seen the most powerful countries in the world don’t care about it happening again- with their bombs&their billions they have fueled, not halted, and accelerated genocide

So grateful to know that there are still some people left who believe in delivering social justice.
