The End of August
Yu Miri
£18.00 £17.10“Ambitious in scope and execution. Amazingly well-sustained, multi-layered, many-voiced novel. A joy to read.”
The Zekameron: Shortlisted for The Republic of Consciousness Prize 2024
Maxim Znak
£12.99“Deceptively light touch to these powerful stories by imprisoned Belarusian lawyer and activist. A truly important book.”
My Work
Olga Ravn
£16.99 £16.14“A startling presentation of her troubling experience of motherhood. Admired its structural risk-taking, dark humour, its unrelenting honesty and intellectual seriousness.”
May the Tigris Grieve for You
Emilienne Malfatto
£10.99 £10.44“A very powerful little book. It stages the ambiguities, hesitations, fears, and all the grey stuff that makes us human. Poetic, yet powerful in political statement.”
Barcode
Krisztina Toth
£12.00 £11.40"Sharply observed, surprising explorations of identity, community, guilt. Each story swerves in a fleet, deliberately discombobulating fashion. Wonderful prose work from a poet.“
Summa Kaotica
Ventura Ametller
£12.99 £12.34“Fizzing with wild, creative energy blending myth, legend, fact and history - Don Quixote meets Tristram Shandy meets The Flounder.”
Truth & Dare
So Mayer
£10.99 £10.44“An excellent approach taken to evoking situations. I'm a fan of this press and these stories – really cheeky, playful, weird and wonderful.”
Of Cattle and Men
Ana Paula Maia
£11.99 £11.39“A stunning thriller of sorts. So understated. So powerful. So heartbreaking. Worked for me completely on both the level of a human story and as a warning parable for our times.“
Avenues By Train
Farai Mudzingwa
£14.99 £14.24“An assured debut. It addresses the objective truth of these lives but also deftly conveys the character's subjective understanding of the forces that influence their fate.”
Out of Earth
Sheyla Smanioto
£14.99 £14.24“A vivid, mesmerising multigenerational novel, which tackles brutality and violence within familial relationships with tact. A very impressive book.”
Judges: REBECCA ABRAMS, DECLAN O’DRISCOLL and SANA GOYAL.
