What It’s Like
Anya Yurchyshyn
‘I’d been telling myself I would get there and get through it. I’d been telling myself I was doing the right thing, that no one could escape doing this thing and that was why the thing was right, not wrong.’
Mario Levrero | Best Untranslated Writers
Juan Pablo Villalobos
‘I knew he was a ‘strange’ writer, unclassifiable, with a boundless imagination, who was creating one of the most intriguing, thought-provoking bodies of work in the Spanish language.’
Searching for Pavese
Alejandro Zambra
‘Something’s gone awry with this article. My intention was to remember, in his birthplace, a writer I admire, and it’s clear that my admiration has waned.’
Oline Stig | Best Untranslated Writers
Lina Wolff

Two Poems
Joe Wenderoth
‘At first you treat him as a nobility – / a miraculous figure(head) / with no real office. / Then he dies.’
Nuestra Señora de la Asunción
Lina Wolff
‘No one here is normal except you, and you’re not even from Spain.’

Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch
‘On tenterhooks / you think how string constricts, how / it connects, how you followed it back / to Rawtenstall.’
In Cyberspace: a love letter
Joanna Walsh
‘I’m at a cafe table. It doesn’t matter which country. I’ve been travelling for a long time. By train. Nine, ten different countries in thirty days, a couple of nights in each, maybe three at most.’
Handkerchief
Ghassan Zaqtan
‘Nothing’s left to say between us / everything went / into the train that hid its whistle.’
After the Hedland
Evie Wyld
‘I feel the pull of being alone, of answering to no one, the safety of being unknown and far away.’
