How do you make your selections?

It has been very haphazard and nice. We are interested in the idea of the avant-garde because it’s so antiquated at this stage but in an ironic way needed more than ever because the commercial side of the industry is getting really caught up with book prizes and airport bookshops, and the exciting stuff is online or in small communities.

We are interested in translation, a European selection.
