August is Women in Translation Month, so what better time to read Margerita Liberaki!

Already read Kafka and Dostoyevsky?

Why not try 'The Other Alexander' by Margarita Liberaki?

Hailed by Albert Camus as “true poetry,” Liberaki’s sharp, riveting prose, with its echoes of Kafka, consolidates her place in European literature. Con­sidered one of Greece’s most distinctive voices, Margarita Liberaki is essential reading.

đź“– Translated by Willis and Eli Barnstone and available now from all reputable UK bookstores and online retailers.
