    Congratulations to Han Kang for winning the Nobel Prize for Literature! We'd also like to extend praise to translators Deborah Smith (@videshi_beti) and e. yaewon who have brought her work to the anglophone world. This is a huge win for translated fiction. 🏆

    A note on Amazon: We stopped selling our print and ebooks though Amazon last October. Unfortunately, Amazon is finding ways to keep selling our print books by sourcing them from elsewhere. We want to make it clear that we don't support Amazon and its practices.

    THE END OF AUGUST by Yu Miri, translated by Morgan Giles. We're so glad to share news of its publication on 29th June 2023 and the beautiful cover art by Lynne Nguyễn (@omnicreateart). Our 2nd time publishing Yu Miri, after the iconic Tokyo Ueno Station. tiltedaxispress.com/end-of-august
    A runner who is Korean and light skinned with a wisened face runs towards an eternity knot finishing line. A shaman's hat with a chicken feather floats like a ghost above him. People at a nearby train station watch, we can only see their feet. An alter with fruits and flowers and candles floats nearby. Above, swords float too, with a hand holding a fan.This is the cover for The End of August by Yu Miri.
