After Brexit Vote, 'Thanks for Translated Works'
Shelf Awareness
"In the dismal afterglow [of Brexit] we're feeling the need to switch straight back into a positive gear on the shop floor, to reiterate our immense thanks to you for publishing the incredible translated works that offer a window into so many different worlds and to demonstrate our solidarity with you in these complex times....
