We publish books that matter — narrative and literary nonfiction on important topics, and the best of local, international, and translated fiction.

Happy publication day to our six stellar new books! From elegant, slippery translated prose to satellite tracking, an illustrated guide to activism to memoir, and an examination of the US’s geopolitical standing.

Created in collaboration by Jeff Sparrow and Sam Wallman, 12 Rules for Strife is an illustrated handbook for change that shows how together we can change everything. Elegant, slippery, and provocative, Antiquity by Hanna Johansson (trans. Kira Josefsson) tells a queer Lolita story — a story of desire, power, obsession, observation, and taboo. The Mountains are High by Alec Ash is a beautifully written, candid memoir that explores the concept of ‘reverse migrating’ from the cities to the remote countryside of southwest China  — and joins them himself.

In The Internet of Animals, Martin Wikelski unveils a new scientific technology that tracks animal movements from space, perfect for readers of An Immense World. Jake Adelstein’s Tokyo Noir is a darkly comic sequel to Tokyo Vice, an ambitious and riveting work that is equal parts history lesson, true-crime exposé, and memoir. New Cold Wars by David E. Sanger is a fast-paced account of America’s plunge into simultaneous Cold Wars against Xi Jinping’s China and Vladimir Putin’s Russia, chronicling America’s return to superpower conflict.
