And other stories...

I have recently heard from our colleague Stefan Tobler about a new publishing initiative he and some fellow translators have developed called 'And other stories'. It's a grassroots publisher which aims to publish good contemporary fiction that might not find a mainstream publisher elsewhere. The project doesn't have a website yet but it has librarything reading groups for Spanish, Portuguese and I think now German too. See this piece about it on the Words Without Borders site. For anyone interested in exciting contemporary fiction in those languages. It sounds like a fantastic project and we look forward to hearing more about it...
