EUROPEAN PLEASURES

In April 2009 I wrote about a new publisher who was exhibiting at the London Book Fair, Peirene Press. This publisher, dedicated to producing beautiful English language editions of modern European literature, is now launching their second book, Stone in a Landslide, by Maria Barbal, translated from the Catalan.

Apart from being attracted to the design and content of Peirene's books, I feel an affinity with their mission to shed light on great writing which fashion and circumstance have obscured, and wish them the best of fortune in their enterprise.
