Publisher Mail: Pedro and Marques Take Stock

PUBLISHER BOOK MAIL // Pedro and Marques Take Stock: A Picaresque Novel

Today I am featuring Pedro and Marques Take Stock: A Picaresque Novel by José Falero, translated from the Portuguese by Julia Sanches.

A modern picaresque novel and vivid satire on social mobility where the lives of two Brazilian supermarket stock clerks are upturned after their small-time marijuana business takes off.

‌

Astra House is a publisher I have fallen in love with this year. I love the books they choose to publish. They’ve sent me some fantastic books this year.

‌

When I saw they were going to publish this book and that it was translated by Julia Sanches, I knew I had to read it. Sanches has become one of my favorite literary translators this year. I’ve read three books she’s translated (Boulder, Eartheater, and Dogs of Summer). So I’m looking forward to reading this translation.

‌

Needless to say, I was over the moon when I opened the package and saw this beautiful book.
