The Nose and Other Stories – Nikolai Gogol
The Nose and Other Stories is a testament to a writer at play and an artist who lets his imagination wander. Through Susanne Fusso’s translation, the absurdity that runs through Gogol’s short stories shines through.
She Would Be King – Wayétu Moore
With the all-powerful, all-knowing spirit of the wind as her narrator, Moore uses magical realism to reframe the history and founding of Liberia in She Would Be King.
