We Are Green and Trembling by Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, translated by Robin Myers.
From the International Booker Prize-shortlisted author comes a dazzling, surreal re-imagining of Catalina de Erauso, a 17th-century nun who escaped a Spanish convent, assumed a male identity, and fled to South America. Written as a letter from the deep wilderness, the novel masterfully weaves together themes of q***r identity, colonial history, indigenous lore, and the untamed natural world. A brilliant piece of contemporary Latin American fiction.

Uncover the long, intrepid fight for female pleasure with FLICK by Kate Lister, host of the award-winning podcast Betwixt the Sheets.
Shattering the misconception that s*x positivity is a modern invention, this eye-opening history takes us from Ancient Mesopotamian s*x goddesses to the contraceptive pill.
It is a unique, brilliant, and gripping account of how women’s s*xual pleasure has been controlled, understood, and thoroughly enjoyed throughout time.

Why Read Russian Classics? Here’s What Literary Legends Said!!

“In Dostoyevsky there were things believable and not to be believed, but some so true they changed you as you read them; frailty and madness, wickedness and saintliness, and the insanity of gambling were there to know... To have come on all this new world of writing... was like having a great treasure given to you.”
— Ernest Hemingway
( A Moveable Feast)

“If we want understanding of the soul and heart where else shall we find it of comparable profundity? ...Indeed, it is the soul that is the chief character in Russian fiction.”
— Virginia Woolf
(The Common Reader)

“He is still my favourite author, and he is the one—I still think—who writes most honestly about human existence... He has this power of compassion. And then he refuses to turn his eyes away; he, too, looks; he, too, suffers.”
— Akira Kurosawa
( Something Like an Autobiography)

“I am filled with awe... in the presence of the religious greatness of the damned, in the presence of genius of disease and the disease of genius, of the type of the afflicted and the possessed, in whom the saint and the criminal are one.”
— Thomas Mann
(Dostoevsky—in Moderation)

“That is almost the whole of Russian literature: the phenomenal coruscations of the souls of quite commonplace people.”
— D. H. Lawrence
(Phoenix)

Literary Trivia: You might have heard the famous quote, “We all come out from under Gogol’s ‘Overcoat’.” While often misattributed to Dostoevsky, literary historians confirm it was actually French critic Eugène-Melchior de Vogüé summarising how Russian writers viewed Nikolai Gogol’s massive influence.

Have you dived into Russian literature yet? Who is your favorite —Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, or Gogol? Let me know in the comments below.
