The Mookse and the Gripes discussion

The Restless Books mission:

"Restless Books is an independent, nonprofit publisher devoted to championing essential voices from around the world whose stories speak to us across linguistic and cultural borders. We seek extraordinary international literature for adults and young readers that feeds our restlessness: our hunger for new perspectives, passion for other cultures and languages, and eagerness to explore beyond the confines of the familiar.

Through cultural programming, we aim to celebrate immigrant writing and bring literature to underserved communities. We believe that immigrant stories are a vital component of our cultural consciousness; they help to ensure awareness of our communities, build empathy for our neighbors, and strengthen our democracy."

Through Restless, I have found Cuban sci-fi author (& heavy metal rocker) Yoss. I've read two of his books & have a third waiting on me. I also have Ricardo Piglia's The Way Out sitting on my shelf to read.

In addition to unique international books, they print some very cool reprints of classic books as well as some neat-looking children's books.

They also sponsor The Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing: https://restlessbooks.org/prize-for-n...

I am getting ready to pre-order Antiman: A Hybrid Memoir by Rajiv Mohabir.

Thank you, Stacia. This Favorite Presses Folder is becoming a more vital resource for fans of indie fiction.

Exactly. I love searching for books based on the publisher. Indie presses are my favorite way to find new things to read!

Mine too!
