“I had to run in every direction, to explore this life myself.” In Hassan Akram’s A Plan to Save the World (translated from Arabic by Ibrahim Fawzy), childhood idealism clashes with the stark realities of living through war in a boy’s mission to not only save the world, but himself.

It’s not available yet, but keep an eye out for an excerpt from Sener Ozmen’s The Competition of Unfinished Stories, as rendered in English by @gayadorno.bsky.social, in this incredible @thedialmag.bsky.social fiction issue.

Hot off the press in Zagreb, our October, November, and January titles: award-winning Croatian poetry, a wickedly wild Kurdish farce translated by @gayadorno.bsky.social, and a landmark Bulgarian queer novel about a sworn virgin in Albania. Get in touch for ARCs.

“Dryly funny, delightfully inventive, and politically sharp . . . If you like @rabihalameddine.bsky.social’s style, this is a great book for you!” Samia Saliba on The Competition of Unfinished Stories. www.arabamericanwriters.org/blog/posts/n...

“Nothing survives the abattoir of the forest.” Nicholas Glastonbury makes the call between “The History of Sound” and “The Extinction of Irena Rey” as week three draws to a close at the 2025 Tournament of Books, presented by @fieldnotesbrand.bsky.social! www.tournamentofbooks.com/2025/the-his...
