"Reading Yōko Tawada is an immensely fun & occasionally bewildering experience. SUGGESTED IN THE STARS combines a linguistic playfulness with a mind-expanding worldview...Margaret Mitsutani’s [translation] is exquisite.'

‘A hilarious, important novel. A correct & a real one. There is something in the writing that is wild in a virtuosic way &, needless to say, hugely intelligent’
The wonderful @isabelwaidner had an early read of Nicola Barker's forthcoming #TonyInterruptor
‘Seductively gothic…[Enriquez] is at the height of her powers...This might be her most untrammelled – & certainly her most unwavering – collection yet. It’s an array of stories that will keep you in their chokehold’ @prospect_uk
These are really gorgeous editions!
Time reread Han Kang.
If you’ve been into a bookshop lately you might have seen these three stunning new re-jackets of Nobel Prize-winner Han Kang’s books 🤍
Which one is your favourite?
