Some news, as they say: thrilled to be launching a #Maine-based publishing program. The first two books will be out in March and I'll have lots more on all of this come January. Bounce any questions/thoughts my way, or to the wonderful @luxlotus.

There’s a certain look that passes between people who can’t believe what they survived. And then, eventually, one is left to carry those secrets alone.

That's right, Underground Barbie is the February pick for the @asymptotejrnl Book Club. "Underground Barbie bears witness to a turbulent childhood in transition—the wonder and terror of it all, sustained by imagination."

Maša Kolanović’s Underground Barbie is evocative, unexpected, and our February pick for the Asymptote Book Club!
In her extraordinary work, the Croatian author merges the technicolor hues of childhood with the violence of her nation’s War of Independence:

@wwborders reviews Underground Barbie: "No matter how far underground the trauma of growing up during a war gets buried, it will never go away. But the survivors still deserve a monument to their memories, and Kolanović’s novel provides a fitting one." wordswithoutborders.org/book…

This is James Baldwin from Nothing Personal, an under-appreciated collaboration with Richard Avedon. Dropping it here for no particular reason.

Fresh ARCs hot off the press here in #Maine. Martina Vidaić’s Bedbugs won the 2023 EU Prize for Literature and we’re psyched to introduce this exciting and fresh Croatian voice to readers, thanks to Ellen Elias-Bursać‘s jaunty translation. Book folks, get in touch!

Imagine watching Twin Peaks as your country was torn apart by war. Maša Kolanović's characters in Underground Barbie (tr. @enaselimo) did just that. "We each boarded the couch and sailed off from our own country to a distant American hinterland." RIP David Lynch.
