A joy to welcome Pedro Carmona-Alvarez and his new novel Chiquitita, a literary masterpiec! Chiquitita is a melancholy, poetic story about fleeing for one’s life, about the passage of time, and about the things in life that don’t disappear and come back to haunt us. A novel about impossible stories, trauma and violence, but also about hope and light and love.
Chiquitita will be published in August 2023.
Chiquitita is heading to Germany, where it will be published by the prestigious Luchterhand Literaturverlag, and the UK, where it will be one of the first books the brand-new Akoya Publishing will be launching with.
The second book in Ruth Lillegraven’s thrilling “Clara”-series, “Blood Ties” (“Dunkler Abgrund”, Ullstein Verlag, tr. Günther Frauenlob) is hitting it out of the park in Germany since launching a couple of months ago!
New series alert from Jon Fosse! You’ll have to wait until next year to read the first book, but for now, we’re happy to share the first lines with you.
In April 2025, Gutkind Forlag will be publishing a new novel, Hey Hafni. We are also thrilled that the brand-new Akoya Publishing has acquired three of Helle’s books for UK English publication: they, Hafni Says, and Hey Hafni.
