Sounds fabulous

I always thought, as a child, that Princes Street was Princess Street anyway

Sharing this good news from 404 Ink:

THE GOLDBLUM VARIATIONS IS OFF TO PENGUIN BOOKS!
You like Jeff Goldblum. We like Jeff Goldblum. Helen McClory really likes Jeff Goldblum. And we’re excited to tell you: so does Penguin Books!

We’ve sold the rights to our favourite fictional Goldblum goodness, The Goldblum Variations, to Penguin Books US who will publish the book featuring some brand new stories in North America, having acquired World rights (excl. UK). If you thought you’d seen everything of Jeff’s universal travels, think again. We’ll also be republishing the new version of the book in the UK to tie in with release later in the year.

On the news, Helen says, “I'm delighted that Penguin has chosen to pick up The Goldblum Variations and can't wait to share the Gospel of Goldblum absurdism with a new audience.”

“We at Penguin Books are so excited to be collaborating with 404 Ink and Helen McClory on bringing The Goldblum Variations to North America and beyond,” says Shannon Kelly, Assistant Editor at Penguin. “In addition to being hilarious, Helen is an incredible literary talent, and I feel fortunate that in this vast multiverse I live in a timeline that contains both her wonderful writing and the sensation that is Jeff Goldblum.” ...

Just launched at the Tehran International Book Fair : Susan Sellers’ debut novel VANESSA & VIRGINIA in Farsi, translated by Zahra Amini (pictured here) . The fictional portrait of sisters Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf was first published in the UK by Two Ravens in 2008 and is now translated into 14 languages worldwide, including Chinese and Japanese.

The Iranian translation is published by Roshangaran, the feminist press founded in the 1980s by Shahla Lahiji, Iran’s first woman publisher, as a response to the discrimination and restrictions imposed on women by the Islamic Revolution. Since then, it has published hundreds of books by women authors, and has received numerous international accolades.

The Farsi translation of ‘Vanessa and Virginia’, like all books in Iran, has been subject to the scrutiny of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. In order to obtain the necessary licence for publication, a number of changes to the original novel had to be made. In particular, any reference to extra-marital or same-sex relationships had to be cut since these are forbidden under Iranian Islamic law.

About these alterations, translator Zahra Amini comments: ‘Though it was regrettable that certain aspects of the text had to be cut, altered or softened, Iranian readers are perfectly used to reading between the lines and understanding from even small insinuations….Women around the world will only have the chance for full equality once the patriarchal contract has been torn up and rewritten. Virginia Woolf knew this and wrote about it in books such as her landmark ‘A Room of One’s Own’. Her sister Vanessa Bell was also a revolutionary. I hope my translation of Susan’s novel about these two pioneering sisters will inspire women in Iran not to lose hope, but to continue to advance and thrive.’

Only right and proper that an author with four books out this year gets to celebrate with lunchtime fizz in publication week of two of the titles. Cheers Sara Sheridan!

Good Friday ascent of Suilven, in glorious sunshine.
‘Beneath my feet a Loch shines in the brown/Its silver paper crinkled and edged with rust’.(Climbing Suilven by Norman MacCaig) Like him, my lungs said No- but glad to report I made it.
