2024 Collection
£78.00
Our 2024 publications are now available to buy as a set. The seven books are:
About Uncle by Rebecca Gisler
Translated by Jordan Stump
‘About Uncle is a diamond-sharp gem of a novel about the inescapable bonds of family. Once you meet him, you, too, will never be free of Uncle.’ – Stephen Sparks, Point Reyes Books (Point Reyes, CA)
Anomaly by Andrej Nikolaidis
Translated by Will Firth
‘If there is justice in the world, Nikolaidis’ novel should become a bestseller bigger than the novels of James Patterson or John Grisham. And since there is no justice in the world, let us hope that a divine caprice will nonetheless make this insanely readable page-turner a mega success.’ – Slavoj Žižek
Un Amor by Sara Mesa
Translated by Katie Whittemore
‘Sara Mesa’s writing is mysterious and fascinating: her characters brush against the limits in environments of fierce false calm. Un Amor is one of her best novels – tense and beautiful like a crouching bird.’ – Mariana Enríquez, author of Our Share of Night and The Dangers of Smoking in Bed
Glória by Victor Heringer
Translated by James Young and Sophie Lewis
‘Heringer once said that he loved the serendipity of creation, like exploring a mountain and discovering new places to twist your ankle. His commitment to heterodoxy, singularity and incongruity made him an artist of the loose end.’ – Lorna Scott Fox, The New Left Review
Half Swimmer by Katja Oskamp
Translated by Jo Heinrich
‘Katja Oskamp knows how to capture the essence of people beautifully. They really come to life in her portraits.’ – Frank-Walter Steinmeier, President of Germany
A Simple Intervention by Yael Inokai
Translated by Marielle Sutherland
‘A haunting and thoughtful novel, Yael Inokai’s A Simple Intervention has echoes of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Booker-shortlisted Never Let Me Go.’ – New Books in German
Djinns by Fatma Aydemir
Translated by Jon Cho-Polizzi
‘Sensational. . . . Sometimes you just want a big old family saga to lose yourself in – and there’s none more engrossing this autumn than Djinns.’ –The Guardian
Press & Reviews
'In the hands of bestselling German-Turkish novelist Fatma Aydemir, the family novel is a framework for a heartbreaking, formally experimental examination of identity in which a six-part structure mirrors the divisions diaspora makes between generations. . . . Djinns is the work of a writer who has hit her artistic stride. . . . [it] Chronicles an important transitional moment in Germany’s self-definition with intelligence and nuance.'—The Baffler
‘Yael Inokai illuminates the women with clear sentences; she writes with a calm hand and is not afraid of the darkness.’ - Dorothee Elmiger, author of Out of the Sugar Factory
'Katja Oskamp knows how to capture the essence of people beautifully. They really come to life in her portraits. A powerful book.' - Frank-Walter Steinmeier, President of Germany
'The fascination of Mesa's writing is in the closeness of her attention – she attends to all the complex weather of human feeling, allows her characters to go where they will – where, it feels to the reader, they inexorably must, despite the surprise and strangeness of their circumstances. Un Amor is a romance that reads like a thriller, a small-town intrigue that is consuming and essential. Such is the quiet intensity of La Escapa and the novel that inhabits it, the world beyond begins to blur – could almost disappear.’ – Martha Sprackland, author of Citadel and Milk Tooth
‘Anomaly evades understanding, and forgoes explanation in favour of something more mysterious and devious. Whether it makes you think of life and what you’re doing with yours, or what to make of death, or how a novel so slender can ask such crunchy questions about life, Nikolaidis prompts more questions than he cares to answer. That’s exactly why it’s so compelling.’ – Rory McNeill, Sunday Telegraph
'Heringer had little time to live, but he marked an entire generation of writers and readers.' - O Globo
‘Disquieting, tender, painfully precise, the language of Gisler is a language of embodiment. To read Uncle is to become him.’ – Molly McGhee, author of Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind
