No Edges by multiple authors, translated from Swahili by multiple translators

The first collection of Swahili fiction in English translation, No Edges introduces eight East African writers from Tanzania and Kenya as they share tales of sorcerers, Nairobi junkyards, cross-country bus rides, and spaceships that blast prisoners into eternity. Here we’re encouraged to explore the chaos of life on a crowded Earth, as well as the otherworldly realms lying just beyond our reach. Through language bursting with rhythm and vivid Africanfuturist visions, these writers summon the boundless future into being. (June 08)

I Belong to Nowhere: Poems of Hope and Resistance by Kalyani Thakur, translated from Bengali by Mrinmoy Pramanick and Sipra Mukherjee.

The first English-language collection from one of India’s most hard-hitting writers, these poems brilliantly exemplify writing as an act of resistance. Militant, satirical, and biting, Kalyani Charal pulls no punches in eviscerating paternalistic - and patriarchal - bourgeois socialists who speak on behalf of others. Experimental in their approach, with a mind towards the girl who counts the dark, those hidden amidst shadows, illuminated by the poet. (July 27)

A Book, Untitled by Shushan Avagyan, translated from Armenian by Deanna Cachoian-Schanz

In her experimental feminist work, the author interlaces an imagined conversation bewteen literary feminist figures, a conversation between the author and a friend, and the author’s own relfections on censorship, translation and literature. A bold autofiction that challenges the lines that separate the narrative plots, present and past, and inquires on the historical and the imagined, the what has been and what is still being censored.
