I've had this only one day and I'm halfway through. But it's so brilliant, I want it to last. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social translated by Natasha Wimmer

“What a rogue he is.” #gorky #tolstoy #fitzcarraldoeditions One of the authors who popped up as an option when I was considering what to read for 1925 was the Russian writer, Maxim Gorky. His novel, “The Artamonov Business”, was published in tha…

On the blog today, a fascinating new release from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social in which Gorky shares his memories of Tolstoy, Chekhov and Andreyev - translated by Bryan Karetnyk - more here! kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2025/10/03/w...

My Documents, by Alejandro Zambra, tr by Megan McDowell. My Documents is the latest work from Alejandro Zambra, the award-winning Chilean writer whose first novel was heralded as the dawn of a new era in Chilean literature. Whether chronicling the attempts of a migraine-afflicted writer to quit smoking or the loneliness of the call-centre worker, the life of a personal computer or the return of a mercurial godson, this collection of stories evokes the disenchantments of youth and the disillusions of maturity in a Chilean society still troubled by its recent past. Written with the author's trademark irony and precision, humour and melancholy, My Documents is unflinchingly human and essential evidence of a sublimely talented writer working at the height of his powers.

So October starts with this fine set of stories from Chile's Alejandro Zambra. There's a nice blurb in the alt text and as always Megan McDowell's translation helps bring the writer into our language very nicely indeed. Just more excellence from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

Horrifying, with a tiny glimmer of hope at the end. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @arielsaramandi.bsky.social
#booksky

An unsettling portrait of the U.S. with some hope in it. A reflection about “a physical space made less real by its online shadow.” A story about the childless sorrow. A feminist ‘On the Road’. Really worth for time. Beautifully edited by @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

Just finished this. What a great book offering such insights into the state of modern America and the damage done to all nature by rapacious greed. Can’t really put or any better than JL on the back cover… @joannapocock.bsky.social @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

False War by Carlos Manuel Álvarez — a meditation on migration The second novel by the New York-based Cuban writer deals with issues of exile and dissidence through the eyes of several émigrés

“Time is compressed and stretched in this novel, which seems more determined to explore the disjointedness of expatriation than to pursue the conventions of linear storytelling.”

My review of False War by Carlos Manuel Álvarez @ftweekend.com @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

www.ft.com/content/7356...

Alaa abd-el Fattah has a book called “You Have Not Yet Been Defeated” that is a collection of his letters from prison and some of his blogposts. In commemoration of his release in Cairo, his publisher @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social is making the e-book free. I cannot recommend it enough.

Here's an offer you can't refuse. They have a 40% off sale this week too, heartily recommend swagging some bargains. Their non-fiction list is peerless and the fiction is generally top notch too.
