Charco Press

In this episode I speak to Sam from Charco Press, the UK award-winning publisher, who specialise in Latin American literature. We discuss how Charco started, how the literary world needs to move from the Latin American Boom, and Sam gives some great advice for anyone thinking of starting up their own publishing house!No shout-outs for this episode as I stupidly forgot to record them!Books mentioned in this episode:Never Did the Fire by Diamela Eltit, translated by Daniel HahnCatching Fire: A Translation Diary by Daniel Hahn (Untranslated series)Homesick by Jennifer Croft (Untranslated series)Fate by Jorge Consiglio, translated by Carolina Orloff and Fionn PetchThe Wind That Lays Waste by Selva Almada, translated by Chris AndrewsDead Girls by Selva Almada, translated by Annie McDermottThe President’s Room by Ricardo Romero, translated by Charlotte CoombeThe Adventures of China Iron by Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, translated by Fiona Mackintosh and Iona MacintyreFireflies by Luis Sagasti, translated by Fionn PetchResistance by Julián Fuks, translated by Daniel HahnOccupation by Julián Fuks, translated by Daniel HahnElena Knows by Claudia Piñeiro, translated by Frances RiddleBrickmakers by Selva Almada, translated by Annie McDermottHavana Year Zero by Karla Suárez, translated by Christina MacSweeneyA Perfect Cemetery by Federico Falco, translated by Jennifer CroftTrout, Belly Up by Rodrigo Fuentes, translated by Ellen Jones Music by Tom Caruana: https://tomcaruana-teasea.bandcamp.com/Chatting Lit logo design and artwork by Emma Morris (@emmamorrisdesign)
