I just finished The Book Censor's Library by Bothayna Al-Essa. You may see it in the UK translation as The Guardian of Surfaces. I read it as part of a book group, led by a woman who works in translation (she translates French to English; this was translated by a friend of hers from Arabic into English). It is set in the near-future (or is it today) when literature is outlawed.

This sounds fascinating and terrifying! I will be seeking it out, thanks for the heads up on the title translations and for the rec
Oh, Alexandra, I'm dreaming with you! Amazing, amazing amazing idea... yes, please!!!
I already see us there ✨✨✨✨
Not about Fra Angelico or Elena Greco, but my wife Julie and I look forward to seeing you at the BIF on October 7, when we're in Firenze for the week.
Wonderful, look forward to seeing you and Julie soon!
