*The Curse of the Flores Women* by Angélica Lopes

*Of Cattle And Men* by
**Ana Paula Maia**

☆ Winner of the Inaugural Cercador Prize, the 2024 Republic of Consciousness Prize and a PEN Translates Award Winner ☆

“In Perry’s visceral, understated translation…the narrative unfolds with the compulsiveness of a psychological thriller.”

— The Times Literary Supplement

“An agricultural reckoning of near-biblical proportions, Maia and Perry’s brusque novella stalks and swaggers with a grim piety that permeates every page. OF CATTLE AND MEN is a masterwork of visceral drudgery.”

— Du Mois Monthly

☆ Selected by Vulture as “one of the Best Books to Read This Summer” and Finalist for the Jabuti Prize for Best Brazilian Book Published Abroad ☆

“Graceful and melancholic, enhanced by Zoë Perry’s subtle translation...”

— Catherine Taylor, The Irish Times

“If Graciliano Ramos describes the old, romantic Brazil of a century ago, Emilio Fraia describes something much more like the country that exists today—the country and people I know... The translation is excellent, by the way.”

— Benjamin Moser

*All Dogs Are Blue* by Rodrigo de Souza Leão

☆ Finalist for the Typographical Era Translation Award ☆

“[The] translation impresses for the same reason as the novel itself: like the author, [the translators] are impeccable ventriloquists who have reproduced a voice that could never belong to anyone else, that is unmistakeable and utterly original, and they have also reproduced, equally flawlessly, the many other voices contained within it.”

— Annie McDermott, Literatur

“Part of the praise here, then, is due to the book’s translators, the creators of this perfectly modulated bit of high-propulsion English prose.”

— The Independent
