"Now You Feel It" by Andrea Chapela -- Translation -- in Lightspeed Magazine

I’m so excited that my translation of Now You Feel It by the inimitable Andrea Chapela is out for free online today in Lightspeed Magazine.

Among Andrea’s other accomplishments (such as graduating from Clarion West 2017 with yours truly), she has won several national literary prizes in Mexico and published a book of lyric essays and two books of short stories in Spanish (not to mention the fantasy quadrology she started publishing when she was 16). This short story is from her most recent collection, Ansibles, perfiladores, y otras máquinas de ingenuo. (Sorry to link to Amazon, as far as I can tell it’s the only way to order it from my U.S. browser.) She’s also recently been named one of Granta’s Best Young Spanish-Language Novelists! I could go on, but all that is to say, I am super happy to bring this story to English-language readers.
