We are thrilled to announce that On A Woman's Madness has been long-listed for the International Booker Prize 2025.

Strikingly translated by Lucy Scott, Astrid Roemer’s classic queer novel is a tentpole of European and post-colonial literature.

🚨BREAKING! Columbia University threatens to use US Military to Crush Columbia Student Protests Against Genocide on Gaza

54 years after the National Guard was deployed at Kent State and carried out the heinous massacre of students protesting the war in Vietnam, Columbia University administration is now threatening to bring the National Guard on campus to crush the student protests that are opposing the genocide in Gaza. It is the height of irony that the Columbia University administration officials are echoing the calls of extreme right-wing republicans in Congress to use the US military to suppress the student movement at Columbia.

The efforts to intimidate, scare, and break the will of students demanding justice will not succeed. People all over the United States and indeed around the world salute the heroic stand taken by Columbia students and students at college campuses throughout the United States that are demanding liberation for the Palestinian people.

heads up!!! in solidarity with the student actions at columbia, nyu, berkeley, MIT, minnesota, etc etc etc (so many!!!! 🥲🥹), we made our two-volume history of student protest movements free to download from the seven stories website

Good morning from NYU, where plywood is being used to fortify the low wall surrounding Gould Plaza following last nights’ sweep of the ‘Liberated Zone’

Dozens of faculty and students were arrested last night, and officers are currently stationed in the plaza

“Revisiting the novel in translation has been a moving experience, she said. ‘It’s like it is blooming again now,’ she said. ‘The English translation has given me some insight; the English words and sentences are telling me my story again.’” https://t.co/58JTI6tQHk
