Sandorf Passage publishes work that creates a prismatic perspective on what it means to live in a globalized world. It is a home to writing inspired by both conflict zones and the dangers of complacency. https://sandorfpassage.orghttps://bsky.app/profile/sandorfpassage.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/sandorfpassage.bsky.social/post/3mx4xduuea22qGreetings from Zagreb. We’re on the way to @buchmesse.de but before days of back-to-back meetings, still time to bask in the afterglow of the Lit Link Festival, where we saw old friends and met new ones.

It was on Service95’s 21 Must-Read Books to Have On Your Radar in 2026, even before being shortlisted @thebookerprizes.com. #booksky27 Aug 2026 21:41 +0000at://did:plc:p6wohqdn65d2gdxng3rt6dcm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu3stzsfqs2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/sandorfpassage.bsky.social/post/3mtwd64wkk22wThis👇👇! Some super-hyped books are great. But the machinations of corporate publishing have more or less guaranteed their success. So why not support the visions of indie publishers who unabashedly prioritize their individual tastes and the hunt for truly singular books? #booksky [contains quote post or other embedded content]25 Aug 2026 17:17 +0000at://did:plc:p6wohqdn65d2gdxng3rt6dcm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtwd64wkk22whttps://bsky.app/profile/sandorfpassage.bsky.social/post/3mtvvqrf3mk2wStill looking for some Women in Translation Month reads?

We suggest The Case of Cem by Vera Mutafchieva (tr. Angela Rodel) and Water, Spiderweb by Nada Gasić (tr. Ellen Elias-Bursać).
