| Title: A Cat At the End of the World |
| Translated by: Vesna Maric By (author): Robert Perišic |
| ISBN10-13: 9533513993 : 9789533513997 |
| Delivered like a fable, A Cat At the End of the World shifts perspectives between a runaway slave and the Scatterwind, a bodiless spirit that moves effortlessly through time and space, from the days of ancient Syracuse to our contemporary era. At the center of their stories is Miu, an Egyptian catâ one of the earliest to be domesticatedâ through whom Robert PeriÅ¡ ic channels a deeply profound and beautiful understanding of animal and human behaviors as seen through the results of language, warfare, colonization, trade, and the building of a society. |

| Title: A Plan to Save the World |
| Translated by: Ibrahim Fawzy By (author): Hassan Akram |
| ISBN10-13: 9533515899 : 9789533515892 |
| First published in 2021, Iraqi writer Hassan Akramâ s debut novel, A Plan to Save the World, gazes out through the eyes of a child to explore the period following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. A young and curious Hassan attempts to devise a plan to eliminate warfare from his homeland, and the world. Inspired by the eccentric Miran, who prefers the company of chickens over people, and messages transmitted to him by his dead uncle through a tape recorder, Hassan sets out from Basra on a quest: â I had to run in every direction, to explore this life myself.â In A Plan to Save the World, childhood idealism clashes with the stark realities of living through war in a boyâ s mission to not only save the world, but himself. |

| Title: Bedbugs |
| Translated by: Ellen Elias-Bursac By (author): Martina Vidaic |
| ISBN10-13: 9533515384 : 9789533515380 |
| Holed up in her Zagreb apartment, reeling from the sudden death of her husbandâ whom she had married only days earlierâ Gorana sets to writing a letter uncovering everything that has happened in her life that has led her to penning this confession to her friend: from discovering bedbugs to workplace romance and familial fallouts. An architect by trade, not even her many professional successes have saved her from constantly feeling like a lonely outsider, even when it comes to her family on the coast. Goranaâ s attempt to find closure, and connection, is delivered in a delicately braided story that introduces English-language readers to Martina Vidaicâ s impressive eye for detail embodied in prose that stands apart from so much contemporary Croatian fiction in how the central trauma is not related to war, but the intrinsic, and often isolating, difficulties of the human condition. |

| Title: The Minister |
| Translated by: Will Firth By (author): Stefan Boškovic |
| ISBN10-13: 9533515902 : 9789533515908 |
| There is nothing easy about being the Minister of Culture of Montenegroâ but the next nine days for Valentin Kovacevic will be especially difficult. During an artistâ s performance, he has accidentally killed her, and now, if he hopes to preserve both his position and his sanity, he must navigate the murky corridors of government bureaucracy, cultural expectations, and relentless family pressures.The Minister, winner of the 2020 European Union Prize for Literature, is a darkly satirical political noir that exposes the harsh realities behind democratic â transitions.â It reveals how the promises of reform can empower corrupt politicians and criminal networks, fuel nationalism, and wipe out the middle class. Sharp, unsettling, and bitingly relevant, it is a portrait of a society where truth is slippery, power is dangerous, and survival demands moral compromise. |
