Daunt Books Publishing

Daunt Books Publishing is an independent publisher based in London. Founded in 2010, we grew out of Daunt Books, an independent chain of bookshops in London and the South-East. We publish the finest and most exciting new writing in English and in translation, whether that’s literary fiction — novels and short stories — or narrative non-fiction, including essays and memoir.

We also publish modern classics, reviving authors who have been overlooked and publishing them in bold editions with introductions from the best contemporary writers. We are responsible for bringing the work of Sybille Bedford, Dorothy Baker, M.F.K. Fisher, Natalia Ginzburg and Vivian Gornick back into print. In 2020 we launched Daunt Books Originals, an imprint for bold and inventive new writing in English and in translation. The first authors on this list include Elisa Shua Dusapin (translated by Aneesa Abbas Higgins), Kathryn Scanlan, Amina Cain, Brenda Navarro (translated by Sophie Hughes) and Brandon Taylor.

Daunt Books Publishing is part of the Independent Alliance. Our books are distributed by Faber & Faber in the UK or available to buy in our shops and on our website.

Considered the possibility that the question of rights – Polyxena’s right, my right – did not even arise because a duty, the duty to kill our worst enemy, ate up the right.

As we left I turned around; my look fell on my brother Paris. He did not want the blame, but what could he do? Did they not have him in their power for ever because of his blunder with Helen? Weak, Brother, weak. A weakling. Hungry to conform. Just look at yourself in the mirror. With this final look I saw through him completely, and he saw through himself too, but he could not take it. More rashly than anyone he pressed on with that act of madness that was now inevitable. They say that afterward he let them display him, riding astraddle, to the people and the troops, as the conqueror of Achilles. ‘Paris, our hero!’ That could not diminish his self-contempt, which was incurable.

Mustn’t lose my mind, not now’ – my voice.

I did not lose my mind.
