Following Yang Shuang-zi's Taiwan Travelogue winning the International Booker Prize, there's never been a better time to discover the creativity of Taiwanese literature.

Did you know? 🤔

Strangers Press takes its name from the Strangers—16th-century migrants from the Spanish Netherlands who enriched the culture of East Anglia.

That same spirit lives on in our Verset chapbook set: one beautifully designed collection featuring eighty contemporary Dutch writers newly published in English.

Following The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden winning the Women's Prize for Fiction, there's never been a better time to discover Dutch literature.

FOR THAT WHICH CANNOT BE RESTORED, written by Park Wanseo and translated by Soobin Kim, follows a cranky woman of letters that ends up investigating after a story submitted for a writing competition at a government sponsored magazine is pulled from publication by its author, and in doing so finds a story of her own.
