Hassan Blasim’s SOLOLAND sold to ArtRage in Poland!

Polish rights for SOLOLAND, acclaimed collection of short stories by Hassan Blasim, have been acquired by publisher ArtRage!

‘At ArtRage, we are above all drawn to unconventional narrative approaches, distinctive voices, authors whose prose commands attention through its singularity. Blasim is exactly that kind of writer. He tackles subjects that matter– sometimes harrowing, sometimes impossible to leave untold – but does so in a way that is entirely his own: separate, distinct, tragic, at times darkly comic, yet never for a single moment ceasing to be, above all else, compulsively readable.
The same holds true for Sololand, in which three novellas, each carry their own distinctive character, each in dialogue with different literary traditions, yet never for a moment losing his unmistakable signature – you could not attribute them to any other writer.‘ —Krzysztof Cieślik, Editor-in-Chief, ArtRage, Poland
