"Freud would have a field day with this talky, gossipy, and prescient dark comedy of high-level corruption and warped family ties," says @publisherswkly.bsky.social of Noa Yedlin's "engrossing" novel HOUSE ARREST. "This is a wry tonic with a delicious final twist." publishersweekly.com/9781954404434

It's a gray day. Turn off the TV - there's nothing good to see there. Take a stroll, hit the cafe, walk on over to the bookstore, and discover some new literature - maybe these two translations from our friends @newvesselpress.bsky.social

Sam Sacks@ssacks.bsky.social · 2mo agoAnjet Daanje's "The Remembered Soldier" was one of my books of 2025 and I think her newest, "The Song of Stork and Dromedary," is even better. It's a teeming, detail-rich galaxy of stories orbiting the lives and myths of a fictional version of the Brontës. Extraordinary. www.wsj.com/arts-culture...
Anjet Daanje, author of THE REMEMBERED SOLDIER, is "a formidable present-day contender" for the Nobel Prize in literature, @wsj.com proclaims. Journal critic @ssacks.bsky.social made the assessment in a glowing review of Daanje's novel The Song of Stork and Dromedary. www.wsj.com/arts-culture...
