Celebrate Pride and Audiobook Month with Us this June

June 16, 2022

Winner of the Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing, Rajiv Mohabir’s impassioned, genre-blending memoir, Antiman, is out now on audiobook narrated by none other than Rajiv himself! Read on to find out how you can enter a giveaway to win a free download code from Audible.

Language plays a symphonic role in Rajiv’s journey through constellations of race, sexuality, and cultural heritage. From perfecting his Hindi and Bhojpuri to trace the lineage of his grandmother’s music to working as an ESL teacher in New York, Rajiv gorgeously mixes the poetry, language, and song that made Antiman a finalist for the 2022 PEN Open Book Award, LAMBDA Literary Awards, and Foreword INDIES Award. With the audiobook launch, readers can hear Rajiv’s music in his own voice.

ANTIMAN AUDIOBOOK GIVEAWAY 🌈✨

In celebration of both Rajiv’s audiobook debut and Pride Month, we’re launching a  giveaway! Five winners will each receive a download code for a free audiobook of Antiman—and one grand prize winner will receive a hardcover copy as well! Head to our Instagram to learn more.

Translated From the Korean by Jamie Chang

Coming this September, this prize-winning Korean debut explores filial duty, love, and mortality through the lens of a mother faced with her queer daughter’s new relationship.

🌈 Sexographies and Nine Moons, by Gabriela Wiener

Fierce and irreverent, these essay collections question the dogmas, upend the stereotypes, and embrace the queer possibilities of motherhood.

🌈 Heartland, by Ana Simo

The fiction debut of lesbian activist and playwright, Ana Simo, Heartland brings you into a manic ride of a thwarted writer who thinks there’s only one solution to her nasty case of writer’s block—killing the woman who stole her lover.

CELEBRATE AUDIOBOOK MONTH

Grow your listening library this month with our latest selection of fiction and nonfiction audiobooks. With everything from ghost stories on the Ganges to true-crime investigations from Argentina, we’ve got you covered for your next summer drive. Happy listening!
