Reviews
"The latest in Two Lines' terrific Calico imprint...rides a wave of interest in Latin American horror and features stories from translation sensations like Mariana Enriquez and Monica Ojeda as well as writers making their English-translation debut. It's guaranteed to be a weird, unsettling, and beautiful collection." --Literary Hub "Chilling...This eerie selection of exciting contemporary voices is sure to keep readers up at night." --Publishers Weekly "Ten eerie stories by ten writers (via twelve translators) comprise the ninth volume in boutique press Two Lines' Calico Series. Notable title pages for each story in pixelated reds featuring the opening lines in original Spanish cleverly underscore each fright-fest that follows." --Booklist Praise for the Calico Series "I've loved the Calico series from Two Lines Press since its inception. The series presents vanguard works of translated literature in vibrant, strikingly designed editions. Each year, they publish two new titles in the Calico series and each is as good, if not better, than the next. Ranging from speculative Chinese fiction to Arabic poetry and more, each book in the series is built around a theme and captures a unique moment in international literature." --Pierce Alquist, Bookriot "This innovative, Africanfuturist short story collection presents eight stories translated from Swahili by East African writers from Tanzania and Kenya...fascinating, much-needed." -- Buzzfeed on No Edges " Visible approaches translation as an act that occurs not only between languages but also between media and disciplines...Thoughtfully curated...Past and present come together in a refreshingly collaborative spirit." --Brooklyn Rail on Visible "Despite the remarkably distinct stylings of the eight individual poets, This Is Us Losing Count carries a level of cohesiveness and unity that is rarely found in even the most meticulously designed novels. Made even more impressive by the seamless work of seven talented translators (the original Russian remains on the pages, adjacent to the English translations), This Is Us Losing Coun t is for anyone interested poetry, dreams and memories." -- Shelf Awareness (starred review) on This Is Us Losing Count "A concise and enlightening overview of the last fifty years of LGBTQ literature from South America's largest country. Spanning Brazil's regional boundaries and including legends such as Ana Cristina Cesar, Caio Fernando Abreu, and Wilson Bueno, as well as newer voices such as Marcio Junqueira, Cristina Judar, and Angélica Freitas among many others, Cuíer is nothing less than divine!" --John Keene, National Book Award-winning author of Punks, on Cuíer, "The latest in Two Lines' terrific Calico imprint...rides a wave of interest in Latin American horror and features stories from translation sensations like Mariana Enriquez and Monica Ojeda as well as writers making their English-translation debut.
