"The contrast between the subtle and the brazen is but one facet of this astonishing novel’s brilliance." Thank you @southwestreview.bsky.social! southwestreview.com/death-by-a-t...

"An astonishing novel", claims @southwestreview.bsky.social. RESTORATION by Ave Barrera (tr. Ellen Jones & Robin Myers) is getting rave reviews. Have you got your copy yet? Did you read Ave's previous novel, THE FORGERY?

Sad as it was to dismantle the #WITmonth display, its replacement is most delicious! @commapress.bsky.social @foundryeditions.bsky.social @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social @charcopress.com @pushkinpress.com @tiltedaxispress.bsky.social

Today on @thefantasyhive.bsky.social I’m reviewing Chilco by Daniela Catrileo @charcopress.com fantasy-hive.co.uk/2025/08/chil...

Can't even begin with what a box of LA LUCHA: LATIN AMERICAN FEMINISM TODAY means. From a pre-pandemic lunch with @charcopress.com to a just-announced @englishpen.bsky.social award, it's been amazing to work on this outstanding collection from 30 brilliant women writers & their talented translators.

We love watching readers grow their Charco collections! This is louus_library over on Instagram ❤️

Out today. Ghosts from the past have a message for the future in Restoration by Ave Barrera (tr. Ellen Jones and Robin Myers). También disponible en castellano. Both available in your lovely local bookstore, or direct from us. charcopress.com/bookstore/re...

"Maia [ON EARTH AS IT IS BENEATH] has delivered a masterclass in suspense and allegory, a hypnotic descent into the underworld of cruelty and survival." morningstaronline.co.uk/article/lett...

This week's #bookreview: Jeferson Tenório's The Dark Side of Skin, a powerful book about #racism in #Brazil & a son's love for his father. Pedro pieces together his father's life and death to understand his own. Trans. Bruna Dantas Lobato. @charcopress.com talking-about-books.com/2025/08/09/t...

This novel and its translation blew my mind. My review will be out later this month (hopefully), too, but honestly don’t bother with what I have to say, just buy it.

Women in Translation Month part two.#WITMonth The River, Restoration, and Serge are out now. Steppe is due out in January 2026. @catapultbooks.bsky.social, @openletterbooks.bsky.social, @charcopress.com, and Restless.

"A powerful book that manages something I’ve never really read before. I was entranced,” Mark Haber. If you are lucky to be in Edinburgh, Lucía Lijtmaer will be appearing today along Monika Radojevic at the EIBF. Do you want to be entranced? Read CAUTERY. www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival...

This #witmonth we look to to LA LUCHA, out in Oct! These essays regard feminist struggles in Latin America across 17 countries. From patriarchy to femicide, to the inflections of identity embedded in colour, class, or in indigenous cultures. charcopress.com/bookstore/la...

Not only do they publish great books but what a stellar tote bag! Thanks @charcopress.com !!

A book for #WomeninTranslationMonth: Elena Knows by @claudiapineiro.bsky.social. Packs a punch for such a slim book. About hypocrisy, the burden of care, and the lack of control women have over their bodies. Fantastic. Trans. Frances Riddle. @charcopress.com talking-about-books.com/2023/01/21/e...

Bookmail from @charcopress.com ❤️🖤 Restoration is a “ghost story about photography, feminism, bad men and old houses” and An Infinite Sadness is a sanatorium novel set in the Swiss Alps after WW2. Yes please! #booksky #witmonth

Starting The World We Saw Burning by Renato Cisneros, translated from the Spanish by Fionn Petch. @charcopress.com

The last two books from my @charcopress.com 2025 bundle arrived this week. Can’t wait to dive in! I’ve said it many times before, but book subscriptions from indie publishers are one of my favorite things. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Wonderful surprises scattered throughout the year!

Out today. The jarring, visceral new work from Ana Paula Maia, ON EARTH AS IT IS BENEATH. Translated by Padma Viswanathan. Available at all good bookstores, or direct from our website. charcopress.com/bookstore/on...

Out later this month is Ave Barrera's RESTORATION, translated by Ellen Jones and Robin Myers, a contemporary fairy tale about photography, feminism, bad men, and old houses. charcopress.com/bookstore/re...

We'd be remiss to not mention LA LUCHA this Women in Translation month! Coming in October but available to pre-order now, this anthology covers the patriarchy, femicide, the inflections of identity embedded in colour, class, indigenous cultures & more. #WITmonth charcopress.com/bookstore/la...

Just finished this. Another beaut from @charcopress.com their hit rate is 💯 #WITmonth #womenintranslation

Wow. I almost started crying in the coffee shop as I finished this. As brilliant and powerful as everyone has said. I feel completely wrung out but determined to read the other two books of hers that @charcopress.com has published. But now, I need to go for a walk. Just read it! #witmonth

THE GUARDIAN described Ana Paula Maia's award-winning novel, OF CATTLE AND MEN, as "a shock of a book." Her new novel is out next week and it will, no doubt, have the same -if not a stronger- impact. Celebrate #WITMonth with us. Preorder from our website today. charcopress.com/bookstore/on...

Today’s selection for #WITMonth is Loop by Brenda Lozano, translated by the brilliant Annie McDermott 🇲🇽📚 @charcopress.com #WomenInTranslation

With thanks to books_nooks_spooks on Instagram where we see another beautiful rainbow display of Charco books, this time celebrating Women in Translation month!

Starting Lexicon of Affinities by Ida Vitale, translated from the Spanish by Sean Manning. “… a dictionary of her long and passionately engaged artistic life.” ❤️so far. #WITMonth @charcopress.com

We love seeing our books in rainbow formation! With thanks to @chroniqled on Instagram for sharing this 🌈

I loved Ana Paula Maia's Of Cattle and Men (trans. by Zoë Perry), a powerful and disturbing book about the lives of men working in a slaughterhouse. Excited to read her new book.

As #WITMonth approaches , here is a list of suggestions from @charcopress.com which I put together last year: 1streading.wordpress.com/2024/07/30/w...
