“The really frightening thing about the abyss is not that it exists, but that there is always a road in, and we take it” – Signs of Life by Anna Raverat
‘We make choices in our life, consciously or not and we have to live with the decisions we make. It’s how we learn to do so, either by concealing the truth or expressing it clearly, that tells us who we are. This is a story that could happen to anyone at anytime and illustrates what humans will do to survive’ – Julie Fisher reviews Signs of Life by Anne Raverat
‘It’s a fascinating text, and it’s a real shame it was left untranslated for so long’ – I Burn Paris by Bruno Jasieński
‘You can see why the authorities were lukewarm about the writer. But the story isn’t all Swiftian mockery; there’s countless pockets of gentle sadness and personal tragedies, as people, even rather scary people, lose their homes and their loved ones to a very, very nasty disease. So it’s sad and it’s funny and it could just as easily have been written today’ – Valerie O’Riordan reviews I Burn Paris by Bruno Jasieński
