The Glass Harbour

Sofia Bellini · Reviewed by Jonas Berg

A century of dock work compressed into three hundred pages, told by the women who did it. The middle section sags; the ending earns everything.

Letters From The Border

Tomasz Nowak · Reviewed by Amara Okoye

Essays that refuse the easy metaphor. Nowak is best when he stays with a single crossing and lets the bureaucracy speak for itself.

A Quiet Distance

Mateo Silva · Reviewed by Clara Voss

An epistolary novel that trusts its reader. Silva withholds just enough, for just long enough, to make the last letter land.
