BLOOD IS DRIPPING ONTO THE COURTYARD

ELVIRA NAVARRO

Translated from Spanish by Christina MacSweeney With an introduction by Sarah Rose Etter

From the National Book Award–longlisted author of Rabbit Island comes a new collection of stories that straddle the line between the horrific and the fantastic.

A young couple’s washing machine fills with blood; a man saves animals who have been hit along the highway, turning his home in a peculiar zoo; the security guard of a half-built housing development suffers from hallucinations; a young woman struggles to understand the cruel neglect of the Parisian suburbs.

This is a world of precarious jobs, towns in the middle of nowhere, abandoned buildings, and cities that are nothing more than blocks of concrete whose contours Elvira Navarro distorts to the point of giving reality the consistency of a nightmare. In an almost imperceptible way, the disturbing infiltrates the lives of these men and women until they find themselves alone at the end of a dark road, afraid to turn around.

“[Navarro] is a master anatomist of class and, particularly, money—both its power and the maddening indignity of its lack.”

—Los Angeles Times

ELVIRA NAVARRO won the Community of Madrid’s Young Writers Award in 2004. Granta magazine also named her one of their top twenty-two Spanish writers under the age of thirty-five. She is the author of A Working Woman (2017, Two Lines Press); Rabbit Island (2021, Two Lines Press), which was longlisted for the National Book Award for Translated Literature; and The Voices of Adriana, which was awarded the 2023 Cálamo Special Prize.

CHRISTINA MACSWEENEY has an MA in Literary Translation from the University of East Anglia. Her translation of Valeria Luiselli’s The Story of My Teeth was awarded the 2016 Valle Inclán Translation Prize and also shortlisted for the Dublin Literary Award (2017). Her most recent translations include fiction and nonfiction works by Daniel Saldaña París, Elvira Navarro, Verónica Gerber Bicecci, Julián Herbert, Jazmina Barrera, and Karla Suárez.

SPLENDOR

TRANS POETS

With an introduction by Rickey Laurentiis

Introducing readers to five trans and nonbinary poets, Splendor is an ode to queer bodies, with previously unpublished translations from Argentina, Denmark, Korea, Norway, and Quebec.

From the irreverent and irresponsible to the quiet and meditative, these poems decentralize our ideas of trans experience and poetics.

Splendor presents a sliver of the wide possibilities of what trans literature can offer. This is trans literature that transcends borders and binaries in order to engage with a messy world. As Camila Sosa Villada writes, “Let us keep loving one another in this swamp of contradictions.”

“I love this book, every page of it! We need more poetry, more celebration for trans lives between the bullets and bloodshed…”

—CAConrad, author of First Light

POETRY IN THE CALICO SERIES

BEFORE I FORGET

ANNE PAULY

Translated from French by Dina

An offbeat novel for anyone who’s ever loved a monster.

When Anne’s father dies, she is left grieving a contradiction. JeanPierre was a man of many faces: the self-taught philosopher born into poverty; the Buddhist who marked his favorite haikus with maple leaves; the old romantic who ended every evening kissing a pixelated portrait of his late wife; and the violent bully, whose alcoholism marked his family’s life in terrible ways.

Sorting through his belongings and making funeral preparations, Anne tries to come to terms with who and what she’s lost. And what’s more, she can’t help but recognize herself in the father she spent so much of her life running from.

THE RESISTANCE

HEMLEY BOUM

Translated from French by Nchanji Njamnsi

In a cabin deep in the Cameroonian forest, two young lovers meet in secret. Afterward, one goes off to fight in WWII for France, a country he’s never seen before, while the other becomes a powerful priestess. Years later, their daughter comes together with a small group of people in the same cabin to discuss the future of their country. France has declared them free, but the colonialists who still control the local government aren’t giving up their power. From this humble cabin the resistance is born.

Populated by a sprawling revolutionary community of found family, The Resistance chronicles the real post-colonial fight in Cameroon and the heartbreaking sacrifices made by those who led their people toward a vision of the world they would never live to see.

Winner of the Grand Prix d’Afrique noire (2015)

THE QUEEN OF SWORDS

JAZMINA BARRERA

Translated from Spanish by

In what was at first meant to be just a short essay, Jazmina Barrera’s deep curiosity keeps returning to the central question: Who was the influential Mexican writer Elena Garro, really?

She was a writer, a founder of “magical realism,” a dancer. A devotee to the tarot and the I Ching. A socialite and activist on behalf of indigenous Mexicans. She was a mother and a lover who repeatedly shook off (and cheated on) her manipulative husband, Nobel laureate Octavio Paz. And above all, she wrote with simmering anger and glittering imagination.

The Queen of Swords is a portrait of a woman that also serves as an alternative history of Mexico City; a cry for justice; and an homage to how each individual is ultimately unknowable. It transcends mere biography, supplanting something tidy and authoritative for a sprawling experiment in understanding.

Longlisted for the National Book Award Winner of the Cercador Prize

Indie Next Pick “A joyous, brainy blast.”

—Eileen Myles

JAZMINA BARRERA was born in Mexico City in 1988. Her books have been published in nine countries and translated to English, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, and French. This is her fourth book translated by Christina MacSweeney and published by Two Lines, including Linea Nigra, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle’s Gregg Barrios Book in Translation Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Autobiography Prize. She is editor and co-founder of Ediciones Antílope. She lives in Mexico City.

WHITE NIGHTS

URSZULA HONEK

Translated from Polish by

For readers of Dorothy Allison, Breece D’J Pancake, and Douglas Stuart, these interconnected stories from Polish poet Urszula Honek will appeal to readers of Southern Gothic and Rust Belt Noir.

In a village in the remote countryside of southern Poland, it’s as if the poverty and brutality emanate like mist from the cursed dirt. The thirteen interconnected stories in White Nights tell of families, scarred by tragedy but also by each other. Whether by digging a pond deep in the woods, taking a lover, raising a family, or simply trying to get ahead of the endless work as the thunder rolls over their home, Urszula Honek’s characters share, with the sincerest care and honesty, a local—yet so clearly universal—story of ruin and hope. Kate Webster’s blazing translation of Honek’’s poetic and earthen prose brings us to places seldom seen in literature, where the people do not ask to be understood, but merely to be heard.

“As one story follows another, a net tightens around the small town in which its characters live, breathe, work, and die. A short-story collection with the impact of an epic.”

—John Darnielle, author of Devil House

URSZULA HONEK is the author of four poetry books: Sporysz, Pod wezwaniem, Zimowanie, and Poltergeist, and one short-story collection: Białe noce (White Nights). The recipient of the Stanisław Barańczak Award, the Kościelski Award, and the Conrad Award, she was longlisted for the International Booker Prize (2024), and shortlisted for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation (2024). Białe noce has been translated into several languages. She grew up in Racławice, a village in southern Poland.

KATE WEBSTER is a translator of Polish to English specializing in literature, academic texts, and the arts. Her published translations include works of fiction, fantasy, and reportage, as well as children’s books and comics. Her work has been shortlisted for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation (2024) and the Oxford-Weidenfeld Prize (2023), and longlisted for the International Booker Prize (2024). She is based in London.

EXEMPLARY HUMANS

JULIANA LEITE

Translated from Portuguese by Zoë Perry

With an introduction by Catherine Lacey

Juliana Leite makes her English-language debut with a novel about one woman’s past and all of our futures.

Ever since the unnamed threat took over, 100-year-old Natalia has been stuck inside her Rio de Janeiro apartment, alone. Well, not entirely alone—her loved ones may be gone but they never really left her, plus she’s pretty sure there’s a spy watching her every move through the window.

As she waits for the daily call from her daughter who lives halfway across the world, the old woman revisits scenes from her life. There’s her husband Vicente, who obsessively erased maps of Brazil; her best friend Sarah, the cookie seller; Jorge, who gave tarot readings for both humans and birds; and the comrades who joined her in resisting Brazil’s dictatorship, at least until they were forced into hiding. Exemplary Humans is an ambitious novel about the quirks of memory and the delights and horror of aging.

“Masterful, crystalline prose… Leite’s novel is one to read and reread and grow old with.”
—Bruna Dontas Lobato

JULIANA LEITE is a Brazilian writer based in São Paulo. Her work has been published in Italy, France, Portugal, the UK, and the US, appearing in The Paris Review, the French newspaper Libération, and many Brazilian magazines. She’s been awarded the O.

Her previous works have been shortlisted for and awarded many prizes in Brazil, including the Critics’ Choice for best novel with her debut book, also optioned for film. Juliana has been a fellow at Art Omi, Ucross Foundation, and Hawthornden Foundation.

NIGHT TRAIN

XU ZECHEN

Translated from Chinese by Jeremy

Looking to take a vacation before settling into his PhD studies and hoping to swindle a little traveling money from his father, Chen Munian made up a story about killing someone and needing to flee. But now that lie has taken on a life of its own, and everyone—the university, the police, the sprawling campus community—is convinced he’s a murderer.

Munian is barely holding on: his wages are meager, he lives with a group of chaotic roommates, he drinks too much with his crazy artist neighbor who is obsessed with Van Gogh, and his bumbling attempts to woo the beautiful Qin Ke always end in heartache. His life keeps spiraling out of his control, and he can’t help but wonder if he was destined to be a murderer all along.

Xu Zechen’s Night Train, in Jeremy Tiang’s brash translation, follows characters who live on the precipice, where the foolish mistakes of young men can have devastating consequences.

“Xu Zechen’s tales of Beijing and the lives on its margins have a relationship to that city much like the one Irvine Welsh’s fiction has to Edinburgh—writing that’s at once an evocation and a demystification...”

—Tobias Carroll

XU ZECHEN is the author of the novels Midnight’s Door, Night Train, Heaven on Earth, Running Through Beijing (Two Lines Press, 2014), and Beijing Sprawl (Two Lines Press, 2023). He was selected by People’s Literature as one of the “Future 20” best Chinese writers under forty-one. The recipient of numerous awards and honors, he lives in Beijing.

JEREMY TIANG is a novelist, playwright, and Sinophone translator. Recent translations include Liu Xinwu’s The Wedding Party, which was shortlisted for the National Translation Award, as well as novels by Zhang Yueran, Shuang Xuetao, Lo Yi-Chin, Yan Ge, and Yeng Pway Ngon.

Earlier this year they were the Princeton University Translator-in-Residence, and served on the jury of the International Booker Prize. Originally from Singapore, they live in Flushing, Queens.

AND HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

MARIA JUDITE DE CARVALHO

from Portuguese by

For fans of Natalia Ginzburg and Lucia Berlin, a definitive collection of all the late stories of the Portuguese master of the short form, Maria Judite de Carvalho, translated into English for the first time by Margaret Jull Costa.

In her usual, incisive prose, Carvalho returns to what really threatens us: not the sea or witchcraft or a lion with watchful eyes, but people and time. She has visions of an empty future of machines and no more art, a vision that looks more and more prophetic. And she tangles with aging, all the regrets over things people wanted but her characters couldn’t, or didn’t want to, give.

And How Have You Been? reckons with what it means to be human over a lifetime, the small triumphs that recede into the mist of memory, the losses that stay razor-sharp. And as always, Carvalho writes with unexpected candor and without apologies.

“Masterful… At once deceptively mundane and deeply profound, witty and deadpan, they contend with urgent questions about what it might mean to live a meaningful life.”

Kirkus (starred review)

MARIA JUDITE DE CARVALHO (1921–1998) is widely considered one of Portugal’s most important writers of the second half of the twentieth century. Born and educated in Lisbon, with a secondary education in France, Carvalho’s work spans painting, journalism, and fiction, with a specialization in the short-story and novella forms. A writer of great concision with an eye on modernization, the changing politics of Portugal, and the effect of contemporary life on everyday people, especially women, Carvalho published widely and to great critical acclaim in her time.

MARGARET JULL COSTA has been a literary translator for nearly thirty years and has translated works by novelists such as José Maria de Eça de Queiroz, José Saramago, Fernando Pessoa, and Javier Marías, as well as the poetry of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen and Ana Luísa Amaral. She has won various prizes, most recently the 2015 Marsh Award for Children’s Literature in Translation for Bernardo Atxaga’s The Adventures of Shola.

SWELL

SON

BO-MI

Translated from Korean by Janet Hong

Each story in Swell launches from the common but pivotal moments that determine the course of everyday life, but they’re often filtered through the perspective of someone else: documentarians, novelists, storytellers, gossips. Then, as the stories build atop one another and intertwine, they begin to shift and destabilize. Characters return but their histories are changed, alternate timelines open, and no one is ever who they were.

Like an optical illusion this book offers two complete pictures. Viewed as individual stories, contemporary Korean lives are rendered with sensitivity and realism—relationships tatter and bereaved loved ones search for ways to move on. Viewed as a complete collection, though, a stranger narrative emerges, in which there is perhaps some invisible logic behind everything, incomprehensible to us. Wholly original, Swell, translated by Janet Hong, is a book full of trap doors, hidden passageways, and the unsolvable mystery behind everyday life.

“Son Bo-mi is a trailblazer.” Korean Literature Now

“A very interesting meditation on how we get where we are [and] the consequences of choices we make...” Korean Literature in Translation

Since her debut in 2009, SON BO-MI has written numerous novels and short-story collections, including Dear Ralph Lauren Swell, and The Fireflies of Manhattan. She has received virtually every major literary prize in Korea, such as the prestigious Yi Sang Literary Award, the Daesan Literary Award, the Munhakdongne New Author Award (four times), and many more.

JANET HONG is a writer and translator based in Vancouver, Canada. She received the 2018 TA First Translation Prize and the 2018 LTI Ko rea Translation Award for her translation of Han Yujoo’s The Impossible Fairy Tale, which was also a finalist for the 2018 PEN Translation Prize and the 2018 National Translation Award. Other recent translations include Ha Seong-nan’s Bluebeard’s First Wife (selected as Publishers Weekly’s 10 Best Books of 2020) and Kwon Yeo-sun’s Lemon. She has been the Korean prose mentor for ALTA’s Emerging Translator Mentor ship Program since 2020.

The Center for the Art of Translation (CAT) is a San Francisco–based nonprofit that champions literary translation and the translators who bring underrepresented global writers to English-language readers. CAT builds a vibrant cross-cultural community through its award-winning publisher Two Lines Press, dynamic events that connect readers and translators, and the educational program Poetry Inside Out, which brings poetry translation into classrooms.
