Kitten (2026)
Stacey Yu
"Exquisitely constructed . . . I was completely unable to resist reading it in one sitting."

The Jaguar's Roar (2025)
Micheliny Verunschk
"A remarkable project. Juliana Barbassa's translation is profoundly thoughtful, brilliantly bold, and brimming with hope and fellow feeling."

Misinterpretation (2024)
Ledia Xhoga
"An absolutely gorgeous novel, taut as a thriller, lovely as a watercolor, poetically incisive and wry. I devoured this book and was heartbroken when it was over. Ledia Xhoga is a great and visionary writer whose career I will follow eagerly in decades to come."
