PELTA, the origin story! Cristina Pinto-Bailey spoke to Daniel Hahn & Padma Viswanathan, two of PELTA's founders, to find out about the vision around which PELTA was based, and its plans for the future. Check it out on the PELTA Blog: hellopeltablog.wordpress.com/2026/01/02/p...

We commissioned The American Way in '21 after the US's bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan. At that time there was speculation that America's days of overt, thuggish entanglements & invasions were coming to an end. How wrong we were. 📗THE AMERICAN WAY commapress.co.uk/books/the-am...

PELTA wishes happy holidays to all its members and friends - and hopes everyone gifts, receives and reads lots of books by wonderful Lusophone authors over the holidays and in 2026!
