Feels good to be offering a discount for ten years of #WiTMonth. Our stats? 64% of our translated books were written by women. https://t.co/YIz2IxDiph

Follow the hilarious mishaps in Isabel Bogdan's "The Peacock"—a satirical gem mixing German humor with a Scottish setting!

A great temporary attraction for fans of Berlin's literary legacy: a recreation of sorts of the cult hangout Romanisches Café.

Here's @pdlayne's translator's note about all her work on the fascinating, inspiring, ground-breaking graphic novel RUDE GIRL: https://t.co/XFhkv2G84t

We asked RUDE GIRL writer Birgit Weyhe and translator @pdlayne what books are important to them in the context of the graphic novel. The result is a reading list on @bookshop_org_UK, chock-full of Black Germans, punk rock and great writing:

Isn't it great when readers pick up on a commonality they'd never expected? Thanks to @LizzySiddal for this review of Birgit Weyhe's Rude Girl, tr. Priscilla Layne.

@HeloisePress So they didn't even post-edit it? Why would anyone work with it?

[V & Q Books @VQ_Books]

@LizzySiddal Thank you!

Rude Girl sighted in the wild at @BurleyFisher – purveyor of excellent books.

Take @timmysmells' advice: Pick up a copy of Birgit Weyhe's RUDE GIRL, tr. Priscilla Layne, place reggae record on decks, open book, dive in. #rudegirl ftw

[V & Q Books @VQ_Books]

The perfect graphic novel for fans of... @DakkaSkanks!

If you liked #HeatherAugustyn's Rude Girls, you'll love Birgit Weyhe's Rude Girl!

Rude Girl by Birgit Weyhe is out! Race, heritage, music, fitting in, life, art. Here’s one of my favourite illustrations. #birgitweyhe @VQ_Books #kafka

We're pretty obsessed with the BBC's This Town drama, so we've picked some books for each of the main characters...

An early review for RUDE GIRL: "Whichever way you look at it, both layers are equally important. It’s also quite fascinating how Birgit Weyhe brings them together, clashes them, uses one to counterpoint the other." https://t.co/R9sK6GJgbq
