Zagava is thrilled to announce the publication of a new anthology: BOOKLORE!

“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab
us. If the book we’re reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the
head, what are we reading it for? So that it will make us happy, as
you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books,
and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write
ourselves if we had to. But we need the books that affect us like a
disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved
more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from
everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea
inside us. That is my belief.” (Franz Kafka in a letter to his friend
Oskar Pollak, 27. January 1905)
