Political upsets have carried on into 2017. The election of Emmanuel Macron in France, and his extraordinarily young party, was followed by the unexpected revival of a reportedly far-left Labour Party in the United Kingdom.

The volumes are edited by Jen Calleja (The Quietus’ new columnist for literature in translation, a writer,  literary translator from German, and member of punk bands Sauna Youth, Monotony and Feature) and designed by Joe Hales (graphic designer and lecturer at Kingston University), and self-published by the pair under the moniker Bathysphere Editions.

Contributors include poet Sam Riviere (whose second collection is forthcoming with Faber & Faber) illustrator Katie Scott (winner of The Sunday Times’ Children’s Book of the Year 2014 for Animalium), the prominent German writer Uwe Johnson, Die Zeit columnist Eric Jarosinski, editor of the journal New Books in German Charlotte Ryland, and Lindsay Corstorphine and Richard Phoenix of the band Sauna Youth. The volume includes brand new translations of poetry, fiction and theatre; short fiction and poetry; illustration; photography; essays; interviews; reviews; and covers topics as far-ranging as feminist approaches to art and Iraqi cultural trauma, to wrestling politicians and The Simpsons.
