Now available in stores and online, THE RUINS is a collection of intricate, metaphysical poems by the peerless Ye Hui. These collage-like poems, deftly translated by fellow-poet D**g Li, braid myth and mystery, and invite the reader to enter into the strange and resonant spaces that they create.

We had a fantastic time at Texas Book Fest selling books, talking translations, and of course celebrating Ethan Rutherford and NORTH SUN ahead of the National Book Award ceremony later this week!

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by our table to buy a book, tell us about a Deep Vellum book that they’d read in the past, or asked us “what’s your deal?” It was especially great to see various members of the Deep Vellum family tree, past, present, and future.

We love Texas Book Festival, and were so thrilled to be a part of their 30th anniversary. Here’s to 30 more years of great books, and of dragging boxes up and down the hills around the Texas Capitol building.

Available today, Alla Gorbunova’s collection of wondrous and strange post-Soviet fairytales, (TH)INGS AND (TH)OUGHTS!

Among dozens of unforgettable vignettes, readers can expect to meet sentient dandelions, a man with a dog’s head, a couple celebrating their hundredth wedding anniversary, and see sights including lakes of fire and blooming jasmine that can be used to send mail. The miniature worlds that Gorbunova constructs in these delightfully delirious parables must be read to be believed.

Once again translated from the Russian, expertly, by Alina Alter, (TH)INGS AND (TH)OUGHTS reaffirms why IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD MY LOVE made Gorbunova a rising star of Russian literature overnight.

Being named a finalist for the National Book Awards comes with some pretty significant costs, and we are asking for support from readers like you in order to support inventive, forward-thinking literature.

Unlike the “Big 5” publishers, which operate out of skyscrapers in New York, Deep Vellum is a nonprofit, and an independent publisher with just 12 employees (and our offices are on the ground floor of our building, right here in Dallas). The up-front costs associated with Awards Season are a strain on our already limited resources. With your help, we can print more copies of NORTH SUN, send Ethan Rutherford to the award ceremony, and pay all of the relevant fees to the National Book Association.

Supporters will be recognized by name in the newly reprinted edition of NORTH SUN. Thank you for your continued belief in Deep Vellum, our mission, and our books.

Donations can be made on the Deep Vellum website.

The 30th annual Texas Book Festival is just two weeks away, and we will be there!
