New Books By Paris Writers - Reviewers and bloggers alert

Katy Matsuga's The Origin of Vermilion has just been released!  It is available from Amazon, as well as from the publisher and locally in Paris from Shakespeare and Co. ("thought-provoking, moving and delightful. An unexpected, nomadic voyage."—Jennifer K. Dick, author of Circuits and Fluorescence; founding curator, Ivy Writers Paris; poetry editor, Versal)

Jeffrey Greene has just published his third nature books, this time a fun journey into the cult of wild edibles.  In Pursuit of Wild Edibles is not a field guide, but more of an exploration of memory, taste, place, and imagination through a memoir style.

Hazel Manuel's  The Geranium Woman (published by Cinnamon Press):  Company CEO turned award-winning author Hazel Manuel, offers a rare and timely glimpse into the world of boardroom politics and tells a tale of corporate ambition as seen through female eyes.

 Dear reviewers & bloggers,

We're about to release two new translations of classic texts, which I hope you will be interested in reviewing. Stefan Zweig's A Game of Chess and Other Stories contains much of the Austrian master's best short fiction, including the title story, a fascinating psychological tale which offers an oblique perspective on the rise of fascism in Europe. Hungarian writer Antal Szerb's Journey by Moonlight is an acutely observed portrayal of a marriage struggling to life which has been heralded as a rediscovered classic.

Zweig's A Game of Chess and Other Stories is translated by Peter James Bowman, an academic who has translated extensively from German to English, particularly the work of Theodor Fontane, whilst Szerb translator Peter Czipott is a physicist with a sideline in literary translation; he has translated authors such as György Faludy, Miklós Radnóti, Bálint Balassi, and Sándor Márai. Let me know if you are interested in reviewing either of these (or both) and I will send over review copies, thanks!
