It is Independent Bookshop Week over the 17-24th of June! We are celebrating by joining forces with a celebrated independent publisher and partnering with Tilted Axis Press. Tilted Axis Press publishes mainly work by Asian and African writers, translated into a variety of Englishes.

We will be joined by Polly Barton (a translator of Japanese literature and non-fiction and author of Fifty Sounds and Porn: An Oral History) and Kavita Bhanot (A translator and editor). They will be focusing on discussing translation, focusing particularly upon Violent Phenomena: 21 Essays on Translation, and translating The End of August, the forthcoming publication from Yu Miri (Tokyo Ueno Station).

We will have a range of books from Titled Axis available at £2 off, and we will hopefully have advanced copies of The End of August available for sale.
