Giramondo Publishing Company

Tuesday, July 26, 2005

Initially these aims were expressed through the publication of the book-length literary journal HEAT, fifteen issues of which appeared between 1996 and 2000. Now in its second series, and appearing twice a year, HEAT has a national and international reputation as a showcase for contemporary writing from Australia, and from overseas, often in translation.

In November 2002 the Giramondo Publishing Company began the publication of literary works by individual authors in its Giramondo book imprint. Giramondo titles include the prize-winning books by Emma Lew, Anything the landlord touches, Brian Castro’s Shanghai Dancing, and Judith Beveridge’s Wolf Notes, as well as Antigone Kefala’s Summer Visit and Anthony Lawrence’s The Sleep of a Learning Man. The most recent releases are the bilingual poetry anthology Mouth to Mouth: Contemporary German Poetry in Translation, and John Hughes’ The Idea of Home: Autobiographical Essays. Three collections of essays, Beverley Farmer’s Threads of Light, Gerald Murnane’s Invisible Yet Enduring Lilacs, and Louis Nowra’s Chihuahuas, Women and Me, and three works of fiction, Catherine Rey’s novel The Spruiker’s Tale, published in French as Ce que racontait Jones, and translated by Andrew Riemer, Brian Castro’s You Can Find Me in the Garden, and Antoni Jach’s The Strange Tale of Napoleon’s Double are to be published in 2005.
