Hard to categorize, impossible to forget, Dinko Telećan’s The Book of Visits engages with the world apace with the comings and goings of nature, those we love, and those we will never know. Discover this Croatian poet in April.

We’re thrilled to be bringing Monika Herceg to #Maine. Join us at the mighty Lambs in South Portland on November 17. "Herceg writes about a history that no longer belongs to the victors, and about beauty that cannot fit into the confines we previously knew." —Olga Tokarczuk

“I had to run in every direction, to explore this life myself.”
In Hassan Akram’s A Plan to Save the World (translated from Arabic by Ibrahim Fawzy), childhood idealism clashes with the stark realities of living through war in a boy’s mission to not only save the world, but himself.

Out in May: Will Firth’s translation of The Minister by Stefan Bošković, a mind-bending political noir that reveals the ugly truths about how the promises of democratic change empower corrupt politicians and organized crime syndicates, fan the flames of nationalism, and eradicate the middle class

Happy publication day to Martina Vidaić’s Bedbugs (tr. Ellen Elias-Bursać), winner of the 2023 European Union Prize for Literature. This novel delivers impressive insight into a psyche damaged not by the trauma of war, but by the intrinsic, and often isolating, difficulties of the human condition.

The best novels provide such a vivid sense of place that readers feel like they’re walking through these worlds. So for this #witmonth appreciation post, two books that drop readers into 1950s Suriname and 1990s Croatia: My Name Is Sita and Underground Barbie (tr. @enaselimo.bsky.social).

Mothers and daughters—it’s complicated. These two #witmonth reads dive deep into these complexities. In Call Me Esteban, a daughter is haunted by the mother she never knew against the backdrop of war and coming out; the mother in Divine Child is alive, but institutionalized. Both are unforgettable.

Two weeks have passed but we’re still thinking about all the smart fun had with Donald Niedekker and Jonathan Reeder. After seeing his books arranged at Community Bookstore, Niedekker started talking about how he pens music and leaves it to translators to conduct their interpretation.
