Archipelago Books

A nonprofit press devoted to contemporary & classic world literature

Bachtyar Ali is a model novelist […] like Achebe and Pynchon, Morante and Ortese, who knew how to give a concrete anthropological and narrative foundation to their vision—one made of tragedy and poetry, or rather, the fairytale and the epic. A balance that few writers in the world are still capable of achieving.

"Most of the poems are quite brief: dense jewels surrounded by white space. As I describe them, I find myself reaching again and again for words like clarity, honesty, brilliance. But I think the word I am really searching for is freedom." @theshrutster https://t.co/niyFeWRXcd

After Manto was fined for a scandalous short story, he told the judge: “Society itself is obscene. All I do is represent its essence. It is entirely understandable that people with ugly faces vent their anger at the mirror.”
A wonderful review @BoydTonkin https://t.co/i9EEk9JdQQ
