AUTUMN 2024
From Savagery
Alejandra Banca
translated from the Spanish by Katie Brown
Narrated by Stephanie Cannon
WINNER, ENGLISH PEN AWARD, 2024
SHORTLISTED, PREMIO VALLE-INCLAN, 2025
“Electric, defiant, and singing with melancholia, Banca’s devastating debut throws its arms around a displaced generation of young Venezuelan migrants, revelling in the clamour and beauty of their day-by-day survival.” —Latin American Literature Today
“Banca’s characters grab you by the heart and refuse to let you go. Visceral, unflinching, ferocious, unashamed—an important and much-needed entry to the world’s literature.”
—Jade Song, author of Chlorine
“A beautiful, devastating, and absolutely essential masterpiece.”
—Irina R. Troconis, Assistant Professor of Latin American Studies at Cornell University, author of The Necromantic State
“Twelve round-trip stories, from here and from there . . . In these wild pages, Banca stirs the emotional memory of the immigrant, and among the tears, uncertainties, and concerns for subsistence, she finds traces of hope and tenderness.”
— Eduardo Sanchez Rugeles, author of The Lisbon Syndrome

Between This World And The Next
Praveen Herat
Narrated by Rory Barnett
WINNER, RESTLESS BOOKS AWARD FOR NEW IMMIGRANT WRITING
“Set in Cambodia, Between This World and the Next is a tender, yet clear-eyed thriller . . . Elevated by a subtle hum of near-poetic prose, it is a compelling debut by a novelist who . . . cares about enduring human questions of love and rage, witness and action, and what it means to be good.”
—Nii Ayikwei Parkes, author of Azucar
“After a chance encounter, Song and Fearless, each burdened with trauma, each with grief, set off on an extraordinary journey. First through the Cambodian underworld to uncover the mastermind behind a brutal criminal ring, then across Asia, Africa, and Europe to find and save each other, and finally through a mazy wilderness of arms dealers, spies, ordinary citizens and corrupt, powerful bureaucrats to see if even in this fallen world, they might retain their fundamental humanity and, just possibly, also find the one true reason to live: love. Thrilling, terrifying, propulsive and complex, endowed with unforgettable characters and imbued with great beauty, Between This World and the Next is a terrific, gorgeous novel.”
—Paul Griner, author of The Book of Otto and Liam
