Greetings from Zagreb. We’re on the way to @buchmesse.de but before days of back-to-back meetings, still time to bask in the afterglow of the Lit Link Festival, where we saw old friends and met new ones. And put our new tote bags to good use on the beach!

For us, every month is about translation but September is National Translation Month, so here’s a peek at Fall 2027. We’ll have ARCs early next year, but if you want to read Lejla before then, grab Call Me Esteban, one of the first books we published. sandorfpassage.org/product/call... #booksky

Women in Translation Month is over, but we’re all about reading women in translation year-round. Need suggestions? How about our final 2026 titles? Out in October and November, The Hamlet Called America and Dogs are both dark but illuminating novels that you won’t soon forget. #witmonth #booksky

We can’t wrap up #witmonth w/o celebrating Rene Karabash’s She Who Remains, delicately yet decisively decanted from Bulgarian by @izidoraangel.bsky.social. It was on Service95’s 21 Must-Read Books to Have On Your Radar in 2026, even before being shortlisted @thebookerprizes.com. #booksky

Want to read two of today’s most exciting Croatian authors? Then don’t sleep on Maša Kolanović and Martina Vidaić. They’ve both won the EU Prize for Literature and the English-language translations of these novels by Ena Selimović and Ellen Elias-Bursać are critically acclaimed. #witmonth #booksky

Looking to surrender yourself to a long novel for Women in Translation Month? We suggest The Case of Cem by Vera Mutafchieva (tr. Angela Rodel) and Water, Spiderweb by Nada Gasić (tr. Ellen Elias-Bursać). Both are slightly mysterious, epic in scope, and utterly unforgettable. #witmonth #booksky

It’s Women in Translation Month. Don’t forget the poets, like these extraordinary, and wildly different, writers: Monika Herceg, tr. by Marina Veverec; Marija Dejanović, tr. by Vesna Maric; Ivana Bodrožić, tr. by Ellen Elias-Bursac, and Sibila Petlevski, self-translated! #witmonth #booksky

ARCs of Dogs by Dora Šustić are in! Translated by Ena Selimović, this is a sultry novel about intense first love, profound longing, bodies, rejection, and mirages, jumping between Croatia, Czechia, and Spain. Think Sally Rooney, but darker.
Interested in this November title? Let us know.

Happy publication day to Hassan Akram’s A Plan to Save the World (tr. Ibrahim Fawzy). In this jewel of a novel childhood idealism clashes with the stark realities of living through war in a boy’s mission to not only save the world, but himself. #booksky

We’re publishing Barbara Matejčić’s riveting and timely read about violence and journalistic responsibility early next year: “Did the two young Belgraders with cameras only document the brutal murder of civilians or were their lenses not just witnesses but accomplices to the crime?“

Thanks @ssacks.bsky.social for featuring The Minster in @wsj.com! “Bošković emphasizes the contrast between the power and 'unequivocalness' of the state and sensitivity of the artist . . . Killing poets turns out to be less of a problem than feeling guilty about it.”

It’s #pride month! Why not celebrate with one, or all, of these completely different reads? A contemporary Bulgarian classic about an Albanian sworn virgin, a Bulgarian masterpiece about the Ottoman Empire and lost love, and a haunting book about identity and mourning the loss of a mother. #booksky

Out today: The Minister by Stefan Bošković (tr. Will Firth). This sharp, bitingly relevant political noir reveals the ugly truths about how the promises of democratic change empower corrupt politicians and organized crime syndicates, fan the flames of nationalism, and eradicate the middle class.

Out today: The Book of Visits, self-translated by Dinko Telećan—hard to categorize, impossible to forget.
“The Book of Visits blends Mallo’s phenomenal attention with the tenderness of Rilke’s Book of Hours. A sublime book at the edge of all being.”— @alinaetc.bsky.social, author of My Heresies
