"In this novella, th[e] element of darkness is . . . of the boiling-frogs variety: Jungeun’s characters are slowly driven desolate by their own unexpressed emotions and memories. The darkness accumulates, over years and years."

Anna Learn reviews Hwang Jungeun's YEARS AND YEARS, in Janet Hong's translation from the Korean (Open Letter Books): https://www.full-stop.net/2025/01/06/reviews/anna-learn/years-and-years-hwang-jungeun/.

Happy pub day to A MUZZLE FOR WITCHES, our beloved and intensely missed Dubravka Ugresic's final work. An interview with Merima Omeragić, MUZZLE is uncategorizable: much more than a simple interview, it's a roadmap of the literary world, exploring the last century and all of its violence and turmoil and providing a direction for the future of feminist writing. Translated from the Croatian by Ellen Elias-Bursać.
