Today is the pub date for a drop-in title from Other Press, When the World Sleeps: Stories, Words, and Wounds of Palestine by Francesca Albanese, translated from the Italian by Gregory Conti ($28.99, 9781635426038). UN Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territory, the author is under U.S. economic sanctions for her reporting and can't travel to the U.S., so no launch event or tour is planned. Still, the book is popular enough that Other Press has done a second printing already and is holding inventory for independent bookstores.
