“Archipelago transformed my reading life, leading me away from the parochial bookshelves of my childhood towards a true world literature. Its positive, expansive influence on Anglo-American literary culture cannot be understated: long may it continue!”
– Zadie Smith
When you donate to Archipelago Books, you contribute to what Zadie calls “a true world literature”—one that promotes cultural exchange, challenges xenophobia and introduces vital literature to a diverse readership.
Since 2003, Archipelago Books has consistently brought out singular voices from around the world to an ever-growing readership. Our books have earned praise in the New York Times, The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books and The London Review of Books and garnered awards including the PEN Translation Prize, the International Dublin Literary Award and recognition from the National Book Foundation and the International Booker Prize.
There are many ways to support our efforts, including contributing to our Terra Firma reserve fund, making a donation towards our operational budget, sponsoring a specific title or becoming a member.
