You can now read David B. Green's interview with Yishai Sarid at Haaretz!

Link in bio!

In a near-future Jerusalem, harrowing omens plague the city: a desecrated altar, an unbearable stench, a rampant famine. Shaken but devout, Jonathan, the royal family’s third son, continues to hold services and offer animal sacrifices at the prophesied Third Temple, built to consecrate the founding of the new Kingdom of Judah. His father, Israel’s self-appointed king, has abolished the Supreme Court. The Torah is the law of the land, and only people of the Jewish faith are allowed in. When war breaks out and an angel of God begins to torment Jonathan, warning him of his father’s sacrilege, the foundations of the young priest’s faith—and then his world—begin to give way.

Winner of the prestigious Bernstein Prize, THE THIRD TEMPLE plunges readers into a tempest of fanaticism, betrayal, and destruction. Where does the power of man end and the power of God begin? With chilling resonance, this vivid novel from one of Israel’s leading authors sounds an unforgettable warning amidst rising extremism.

Don’t let the spooky season end without reading Eduardo Sangarcía’s THE TRIAL OF ANNA THALBERG!

“A merciless chronicle of witchcraft trials that is more than a mere testimony of the times: it is also a trial of the violence that has historically been exercised against women. With a coven of torrential voices, Eduardo Sangarcía lays bare the unreasonableness of a past that also speaks of our present.“

— Juan Gómez Bárcena, author of NOT EVEN THE DEAD

We are thrilled to announce the four finalists for the 2024 Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing in Fiction!

🎉 Congratulations to Annesha Mitha 🎉
🎉 Congratulations to Sofi Stambo 🎉
🎉 Congratulations to Ayotola Tehingbola 🎉
🎉 Congratulations to Haitao Xu 🎉

In this ninth year of the prize, it has never felt more important to highlight themes of migration, displacement, unrest, alienation, self-determination—of seeking home, and all the reasons one leaves home to find a better way.

As it has since the beginning in 2015, the prize seeks to support writers whose work examines, with fresh urgency, how immigration shapes our countries, our communities, and ourselves. The winner will receive $10,000 and publication by Restless Books. This year’s judges—authors Priyanka Champaneri, Rivka Galchen, and Ilan Stavans—have selected the finalists. Please join us in celebrating their work!

Huge congratulations to Bothayna Al-Essa and translators Ranya Abdelrahman and Sawad Hussain! THE BOOK CENSOR’S LIBRARY was longlisted for the National Book Award of Translated Literature.

“Bothayna Al-Essa's claustrophobic satire summons the spirits of Orwell, Carroll, and Kafka, serving as a sharp reminder to cherish free speech. . . . [a] fast-paced meditation on the power of language to stir us out of numbness.”
— Farah Abdessamad, The New Arab

“An urgent, sweeping call to arms for the protection of books and book lovers everywhere.”
— Kirkus Reviews
