A short note on patience and the long sentence
On Cusk, on Sebald, on the way a long paragraph teaches you how to wait.
Editor's pick
The book that
moved this month.
Each month we choose one title that, in our minds, says something the rest of the shelf hasn't yet found a way to say. April's pick is below.
Now on the shelf
New & notable.
From the editor
Staff picks.
Collection
Reading the canon.
A note from us
We don't sell books that need a marketing budget to be worth reading.
Every title here was read by at least one of us before it made it onto the shelf. That's both a constraint and a promise. If we put it in front of you, it earned the spot.
From the journal
On rereading the shelf.
Why we don't carry books we haven't read
A diary of how the shelf gets curated, and why it's a small one on purpose.
The case for the small press, made in numbers
Three years of receipts, and what they say about who's actually publishing the work that lasts.
