We arrive now at the end of our journey, our trip around the world, and across all of literature itself, with the maestro, Sergio Pitol and his intrepid translator, George Henson. An incisive social satire of Mexico's high society, MARRIED LIFE is the seventh Pitol book published by Deep Vellum.
December 8, 2025 at 4:49 PM
TAMING THE DIVINE HERON, originally published in 1988, is arguably the book where Sergio Pitol became himself. In another expert translation from George Henson, HERON is the midpoint of the "Carnival Tiptych," and finds Pitol adopting a head-spinning mixture of fact and fiction.
December 7, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Arriving three years after Mephisto's Waltz, and into a radically different world than had existed in 2019, THE LOVE PARADE was the fifth Sergio Pitol title published by Deep Vellum.
December 6, 2025 at 8:15 PM
Following the completion of Sergio Pitol's groundbreaking "Trilogy of Memory," George Henson set out to translate MEPHISTO'S WALTZ, a collection of short stories curated by Pitol himself.
December 5, 2025 at 9:41 PM
THIS VITAL ABSENCE, the spiky and subversive debut novel by Sophia Veltfort, has been acquired by Deep Vellum and A Strange Object for publication in November, 2026.
December 5, 2025 at 3:01 PM
Arriving in 2017, two years after the first translated volumes of Sergio Pitol's "Trilogy of Memory," THE MAGICIAN OF VIENNA is the devastating conclusion of a pioneering series. Impeccably translated, as always, by George Henson.
December 4, 2025 at 6:04 PM
Following THE ART OF FLIGHT, the second Sergio Pitol title to be translated by George Henson was THE JOURNEY, which is also the second volume in Pitol's astonishing "Trilogy of Memory."
December 3, 2025 at 9:30 PM
In March of 2015, Sergio Pitol's THE ART OF FLIGHT was the second-ever title to be published by Deep Vellum. George Henson's masterful translation was also the first time that Pitol's work had appeared in English, in any capacity!
