![The image depicts a bustling urban street scene, likely from the early to mid-20th century based on attire and architecture. A diverse group of people is gathered outside an "International Employment Agency," suggesting they are seeking work or receiving assistance with job placement. The agency's signboard indicates it offers services in various languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, Yiddish, Armenian, Russian, Persian, Greek, Bulgarian, Chinese, German, and Italian.
Various businesses line the street; prominent among them is "George’s Place," which appears to be a place for buying or selling goods. Other visible signage includes an advertisement for "White House Lunch." The architectural style suggests commercial buildings typical of cities like San Francisco in that era with large windows, ornate detailing on storefronts and balconies.
The crowd consists mainly of men wearing hats indicative of early 20th-century fashion, including fedoras, bowlers, and suits. A few women are also present but less noticeable among the group's overall composition. The scene captures a slice-of-life moment with individuals engaged in conversation or waiting for their turn at an employment agency.
The photograph is credited to Dorothea Lange (1895-1965), known as one of America’s great documentary photographers, who often captured social and economic conditions during the Great Depression.

I am very happy to share that, thanks to Literature Ireland, I will be translating into #Bulgarian the novel "Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" by Irish author Roddy Doyle.
The novel won the Booker Prize in 1993. I don't remember exactly why the book grabbed my attention, but after I finished reading it, I just had to convince my publisher to get the translation rights 
Here's a little something by Roddy Doyle himself about how he came to write Paddy:

Stay with me, I forgot to make my #introduction when I moved here. I'm a fedizen since Feb. 2019, but I finally decided to settle at my own place. (It’s great, you should try it.) I live in #Sofia, #Bulgaria. Posting in #English and a little bit in #Bulgarian, but I quite enjoy reading posts from other people on their native languages. I might post of my work about #translation, #writing #fiction, #publishing. Look out for #cats #gaming #books #sciencefiction and me being baffled by #politics.
