May the Tigris Grieve for You by Emilienne Malfatto, translated by Lorna Scott Fox, has been longlisted for the Republic of Consciousness Prize 2024. Here’s what the judges had to say: ‘A very powerful little book. It stages the ambiguities, hesitations, fears, and all the grey stuff that makes us human. Poetic, yet powerful in political statement.’

The Republic of Consciousness Prize for Small Presses celebrates small, independent presses who support creatively challenging work. To view the entire longlist, see the Republic of Consciousness Substack. The shortlist will be announced in March.
