I idly picked this up yesterday, thinking I’d read a few pages. Before I knew it, I was late for everything and had read half of it. Engrossingly slow-paced and peculiar. And just to make it even better, the translator is credited on the cover. This shouldn’t be so unusual that you notice it. It is lovely to see.
@psneeze That is excellent. Fair play to them. It's rarely the big publishers that do this. It always seems to be the small independent presses that pay attention to this detail. The human-sized publishers, giving due credit to their human translators. Even more valuable now in these AI-times.
@CiaraNi The translators' bios are on the website alongside the authors which is cool too.
PS. The cover designers get named too. https://bullaunpress.com/authors-translators/
@psneeze That is exemplary. That's how to do it. The translators, the cover designers - so often unsung.
Edited to add: I forgot to say that the cover of that you shared is gorgeous. So kudos to the cover designers, definitely.
@CiaraNi All covers thus far have been by Niall McCormack. He's amazing. He specialises in book and album covers.
Another cover I love is that for Forgottenness. Design by Niall, artwork by Anastasia Melnykova. (She actually drew the entire whale though only the tail was used) https://bullaunpress.com/books/forgottenness/
