A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual

If the cover beautiful cover isn't enough to convince you to put this on your shelves, What Remains touches lightly on big subjects: migration, colonialism, the urban-rural divide, identity, cultural curation and the meaning of home.

Happy Publication Day to What Remains!

Out now - online & in bookshops - this award-winning debut from author Brais Lamela, translated by Jacob Rogers, is a powerful meditation on the meaning of home in an uncertain world.

As Ireland’s first press dedicated to literature in translation, we understand just how important translators are in shaping a future we can trust. We hope not only to support their important work, but also to advocate for them as the creative minds behind it.

This International Translation Day, we celebrate and uplift our translators who, in uncertain times, continue to break down language barriers, foster dialogue and help prevent and resolve conflict.

The theme for #ITD2025 highlights the importance of human trust in the art of translation. Translators carry the responsibility of ensuring trustworthy communication — a craft threatened by the rising use of AI-generated and machine translation.
