Paul Celan’s complete prose, Marlen Haushofer’s darkly beautiful novella of childhood, a retrospective collection of José Emilio Pacheco’s poetry, Fernando Pessoa’s most poised heteronym, and Wolfgang Koeppen’s Trilogy of Failure.
On the horizon for July: Novels new and newly rediscovered; must-have collections by cult-favorites; and a lively translation of a beloved Zen master.
