I've been wanting to read #AliceZeniter's The Art of Losing for a long time.
Finally the day has come, it can be put off no longer.
Have you read this?

Three stories by Kaberi Roychoudhury translated from Bengali by Arunava Sinha . Read two of the stories last night. 'Talk to us' very much reflective of the society ideals of a woman and years of conditioning. #womenintranslation #readwit

In 2019 we published The Sea Cloak, the debut collection of stories by Palestinian author Nayrouz Qarmout.
It was the best-selling book at Edinburgh Intl. Book Festival that year!
It was translated from the Arabic by Perween Richards.
