2024 Novella Series
£38.00
Our 2023 series is now available to buy as a set. The three 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)
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
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
Press & Reviews
‘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
'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
‘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
