A mind-bending meditation on death, decay and what we make of the precious little time we have, i’m a little fruit fly is a bold, genre-defying debut that reveals something different with every reading.

#PENTranslates is now open to UK publishers looking to publish great fiction, non-fiction, poetry and more in #translation!
Knud Petersen's queer, working-class memoir Once When I Was A Girl: Memories of a Him-Girl would be a great candidate, especially in light of the recent Supreme Court ruling.

What really hit me with this book – and why I chose to pitch a chapter from near the end of the book, rather than the beginning – was this section. This book was written in the late 1940s but this passage feels just as relevant today, specifically in relation to the "Everything is H*mas" brigade...

I am SO excited about this one. Once, When I Was A Girl is a queer, working-class memoir that reads like a novel. Knud proves to be a remarkable translator who initiates the reader into the world of 'him-girls' in early 20th-century Copenhagen.

Hush Now by Agnieszka Jelonek (Poland, Cyranka 2022)
An unflinching, unpretentious reflection on love, both romantic and platonic, and an exploration of how to find one’s own voice in life and build a reality that is not centred around the wants and needs of others.
