Chloe Aridjis and Marina Warner both knew Leonora Carrington. In a new episode on @lrb.co.uk's podcast they discuss how "her humour, her visionary imagination and her attention to the boundaries between inner and outer realties" play out in The Hearing Trumpet.

Robert Coover and NYRB Classics? Yes, please! "The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop.," out next spring from @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social

We were thrilled to publish Sonya Walger's Lion earlier this year. A testament to its literary quality that such great reviews are still coming in.

Hothead Paisan in the Hartford Courant. Diane DiMassa will be in Hartford's Real Art Ways this Thursday at 6:30. Come out.

Cullen Murhpy on how Mort Walker invented the language of comics. This month, we are reissuing the Lexicon of Comicana ("which enjoyed an immediate vogue among the cartoonist set") and @fantagraphics.bsky.social: Beetle Bailey: 75 Years of Smiles. airmail.news/issues/2025-... @airmail.news

This is perhaps to say: Peter Cole’s translation of Bialik for @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social has been one of the highlights of my reading this year.

Charlie McDowell's cinematic adaptation of The Summer Book (by Tove Jansson) releases today! We are excited to see it in at Angelika in NYC. So excited we did a movie tie-in edition! Oh, and the film stars Glenn Close as the grandmother...

Edwin Frank (NYRB), Barbara Epler (New Directions), Michael Reynolds (Europa), Jillian Kravatz (Archipelago) will be discussing upcoming French translations at Villa Albertine TODAY at 3:30pm. Edwin will be talking about Mattia Filice's Driver, which we are excited for you to read.

Eve Babitz knows how to end male loneliness.

Béla Zombory-Moldován's Burning of the World begins a recent episode of @therestishistory.bsky.social on the Eastern Front of WWI. They call it "a brilliant memoir" and "a really haunting book" and they aren't wrong.

Tom McCarthy talks to Jamieson Webster about his new book, The Threshold and the Ledger, which launches from an Ingeborg Bachmann poem into thoughts on the nature of experience, life and art, TONIGHT at 192 Books (192 10th Ave). Starts at 7pm. @nottinghilleds.bsky.social

@tricialockwood.bsky.social books are a Rat Pile and include a bunch of NYRBs: Roger Shattuck's The Forbidden Experiment, Mattia Filice's Driver, and Nastassja Martin's In the Eye of the Wild (ok the last now in her sister's shelves). Plus a shout-out to Mrs Danvers.

This is essential reading from @lioneltrolling.bsky.social. The famous prison correspondence of von Moltke and his wife Freya has been translated and published recently by NYRB (@nyrb-imprints.bsky.social), too: www.nyrb.com/products/las...

New at PB: In a new review of Dino Buzzati's "The Bewitched Bourgeouis" (@nyrb-imprints.bsky.social), Caterina Domeneghini asks: How useful is it to apply an Anglo-American cultural label to an Italian writer whose literary landscape lacked a direct equivalent?

"Published in 1947, Dorothy B. Hughes’ chilling noir thriller remains one of the best, spine-tingling novels that invites you inside the mind of a serial killer — way better than Netflix does each week.” First time one of our books has been on Page Six.

New releases this week—Mrs Dalloway as Woolf wanted it; late and great (the best?) Barbara Pym; and a work of genius manga from the 80s, Miss Ruki.

A new magazine of politics, culture, art. Coming soon. Sign up to our mailing list: www.equator.org/ (Still image from a film by Yto Barrada)

"You can throw a small dart in this short book and find a nice line from Franz." Another review of Markus Werner's The Frog in Throat. It's short and funny and punchy and completely misanthropic.

"FIFTY POEMS is poetry-in-translation at its best. Nimble and inventive, Lehmann gives us the rare English Rilke worth preserving immediately." Eric Bies reviews Geoffrey Lehmann’s new translation of Rilke from @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social. ocreviewofbooks.org/2025/09/14/r...

"The text is a matrix of longing and loathing, the two states often indistinguishable." Susie Boyt on Barbara Pym's The Sweet Dove Died at @literaryhub.bsky.social

The Hothead Paisan tour continues on Wednesday in Northampton, MA: Diane DiMassa and Andrea Lawlor at the Forbes Library (20 West Street). Begins at 6:30pm. Thanks to Broadside Bookshop for organizing! broadsidebooks.com/event/2025-0...

Alex Andriesse on Markus Werner: "To say the least, Werner has a gift for the well-turned vitriolic phrase." @dalkeyarchive.bsky.social @chadwpost.bsky.social dalkeyarchive.substack.com/p/the-uncont...

I have finally finished reading Effingers, @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social. It is an absolute masterpiece. There’s so much to think about with this book. (I can also see why it was a commercial failure when it first came out in German in 1951. It was a different era in terms of social discourse.)

Somehow we've just discovered that Jane Fonda became an activist after reading Jonathan Schell's The Village of Ben Suc.... We reissued the book in November last year. Powerful stuff.

Great pre-pub review of Amit Chaudhuri's upcoming essay collection, Incompleteness. "'The Origins of Dislike,' 'The Piazza and the Car Park,' 'Poetry and Polemic'...should be required reading for anyone wishing to understand market forces on literary life and culture." @ala-booklist.bsky.social

Once again I am begging for an anthology of translator introductions after reading this marvel written by Peter Cole on Hayim Bialik (from @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social)

Our colleague Alex Andriesse is on the shortlist of the Italian Prose in Translation for his work on Cristina Campo's The Unforgivable and Other Writings. Yay for Alex! And the other translators, original writers, books, and publishers. Thanks to @littranslate.bsky.social and the judges.

Very nice shout-out to MASTERS OF THE NEFARIOUS in this terrific article! Tons of great recs here.

Congrats to Vincenzo Latronico and Sophie Hughes for making the National Book Award's longlist for Best Translated Prose of the year. And an equal congrats to the other writers, translators and publishers on the list.

For the Poetry Foundation, I wrote about the Chinese poet Zheng Xiaoqiong’s incredible collection In the Roar of the Machine, translated by Eleanor Goodman and published by @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social, and the work of Chinese migrant worker poets. www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/172...

CBS Saturday Morning ran a segment on Mort Walker and Beetle Bailey, which has its 75th anniversary this year and a new collection from @fantagraphics.bsky.social. NYR Comics is publishing Walker's Lexicon of Comicana, the teaching aide that will bring a smile. Intro by Chris Ware!

Our latest episode of @onebrightbook.bsky.social is out now. And I have to say that I don’t think Miaow is getting enough love. Read it. You will see what im talking about. @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social onebrightbook.com/2025/09/07/e...

"Perfection takes the most respectful approach to adaptation as a genre: it is an homage that summons a great writer’s ghost to share bittersweetly how right he was." Adrian Nathan West on Vincenzo Latronico's and another book in @thebaffler.com. High quality criticism.

"Now at last, the wait’s over, the secret’s out. Fumiko Takano, manga poet and pioneer, has reached our shores. One of her most daring, delightful manga, acclaimed in Japan and Europe, is here, thanks to Alexa Frank’s sparkling translation of Miss Ruki." Couldn't agree more with this review.

I wrote about Mujica Lainez’s grotesque, glorious masterpiece Bomarzo, which deserves to be as well known in English as One Hundred Years of Solitude, for @bookpostusa.bsky.social. Newly reissued by @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social books.substack.com/p/review-mic...

"Bomarzo, my God, what a novel!" Michael Robbins reviewed Manuel Mujica Lainez's Bomarzo for @bookpostusa.bsky.social "There is no reason Bomarzo should be less well known in English than Hopscotch or One Hundred Years."

If you missed last night's virtual event with Michael McMillan (author of Terminal Exposure), it was recorded. Also participating in the event were Gary Panter, Dan Nadel, and Austin English. Much thanks to the New York Comics Symposium. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcUb...

We have a book for you—Frank Santoro's Pittsburgh.

"remain a delight" "charming characters in impeccably posed body language" "exceptional cartooning skills and attention to human detail elevate them to a category all their own." "a small, perfect treat" PW on Fumiko Takano's Miss Ruki. All true. www.publishersweekly.com/9781681379401

We're publishing this book in the US in April. It's very good.

It’s rare that I can say this, but right now, I’m reading an advance copy of a novel, and I cannot put it down. I’m completely immersed in it. I highly recommend @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social’s English translation of Gabriele Tergit’s “Effingers,” available for purchase on November 11.

"'People really talk this way about therapy? About sex?' They thought it was just crude, all the talk about gay sex. And also, you know, that these two women come off as quite promiscuous. People couldn’t believe that these two women could have a million different boyfriends." —Linda Rosenkrantz
