New Vessel Press, an independent publishing house founded in NYC last year, is about to release their first six titles. Specializing in the translation of foreign literature into English, one of their first books is Some Day by Israeli novelist, film director, and screenwriter Shemi Zarhin. The work, translated by Yardenne Greenspan, will be published this fall. Read more about the Some Day here.
Bonus: The designer of Some Day’s cover is none other than Liana Finck, this past year’s Jewish Book Month poster designer and past Visiting Scribe. Can’t say I’m surprised.
