"Reading Yōko Tawada is an immensely fun & occasionally bewildering experience. SUGGESTED IN THE STARS combines a linguistic playfulness with a mind-expanding worldview...Margaret Mitsutani’s [translation] is exquisite.' theguardian.com/books/2024/nov…

@KirkdaleBooks @isabelwaidner I'm hoping we'll have bound proofs in mid-December! I'll send you one as an early Christmas present!

@JasonArthur01 @isabelwaidner if there should eventually be proofs of this, I would *LOVE* to see one... I've read the passage already published, at least five times!

‘A hilarious, important novel. A correct & a real one. There is something in the writing that is wild in a virtuosic way &, needless to say, hugely intelligent’ The wonderful @isabelwaidner had an early read of Nicola Barker's forthcoming #TonyInterruptor

‘Seductively gothic…[Enriquez] is at the height of her powers...This might be her most untrammelled – & certainly her most unwavering – collection yet. It’s an array of stories that will keep you in their chokehold’ @prospect_uk

These are really gorgeous editions! Time reread Han Kang.

Hugely pleased & proud to be bringing Nicola Barker to Granta! Meet #TonyInterruptor next summer thebookseller.com/rights/granta-…

This is brilliant news to start the day! Nicola Barker is one of the funniest, and most creative novelists working today. I’m sure it’ll be a triumph 👇

Congratulations to Han Kang, winner of the 2024 @NobelPrize in Literature! In honour of this achievement we have lifted the paywall on her writing for Granta. granta.com/contributor/ha…

Huge congratulations to Han Kang! Delighted for @GrantaBooks (who still publish her very best book). If you've never read her, THE VEGETARIAN is THE book to start with!

'Now the novel has been translated and it’s exciting to think that new readers will meet the people who live in that world. For me, it is nothing short of a very precious but strange miracle.' SAYAKA MURATA Publishing this gem next spring. thebookseller.com/rights/granta-…

Happy publication day to master of horror and queen of spooky season Mariana Enriquez! A Sunny Place for Shady People is out today.

I cannot stress enough how much I admire this woman and the way she chooses to use her position of prominence
