Swiss List - new title on the stands

Pro Helvetia and Seagull Books London have collaborated over a publishing project entitled The Swiss List, which envisages publishing 8 - 10 books of Swiss origin into English.

With the latest addition to the Swiss List published by Seagull Books, the number of books in English by Swiss writers now on the stands is eight. 'Death in Persia' by Annemarie Schwarzenbach, translated into English by Lucy Renner Jones has just been published. 

Others in the list include Urs Widmer’s My Mother's Lover and My Father's Book translated by Donal Mc Laughlin, Frisch/Dürrenmatt’s, Correspondence translated by Birgit Schreyer Duarte, Dorothee Elmiger’s Invitation to the Bold of Heart translated by Cathy Derbyshire and Annemarie Schwarzenbach’s, Lyric Novella and All the Roads are Open translated by Lucy Renner Jones and Isabel Fargo Cole respectively. 

Pro Helvetia - Swiss Arts Council supports translation. The publication of the Swiss List in partnership with Seagull Books is an effort to bring Swiss literature to readers around the world. An extension of the initiative «Moving Words», the Swiss List has had demonstrable impact. Audiences across the globe now have access to Swiss Literature and literary translators from varying nationalities have had the opportunity to network and engage with Swiss writers. 

The number of translations of Swiss literature will continue to increase, with Seagull Books looking at publishing another few titles by year end.
