"There is a hint of Conrad in these misty tales that plunge beyond 'bare facts' and conjure up a world suffused with misanthropy and meditative irony. Readers will be bewitched." @PublishersWkly on @katalinasilver 's translation of Juan Carlos Onetti

"Told by an observant hornet, (Charcoal Boys) is the story of two boys in a coal yard where fiery ovens make charcoal...The fascinating mix of words and images invites—almost demands—rereading to tease out meaning." — @ALA_Booklist starred review of Roger Mello's book (out 10/8) https://t.co/mEDsYCco0J

"The clash between tradition and modernity…the lure of transgression and of nostalgia…themes in many stories that examine a woman's struggle to define her identity in changing times. Fresh, graceful stories create a palpable world." —Kirkus Reviews

Join Scandinavia House on 7/30 for a discussion on A Change of Time by Ida Jessen. A Change in Time "understands that desire permeates everything," writes Anne Michael. "It is a book that deepens and dignifies both our innocence and our fallibility."
