Literary Fiction

The Quiet Meridian

Nadia Osei-Bonsu

A Lagos woman inherits her grandmother's silence — and the century of secrets buried inside it.

The most assured debut since Chimamanda Adichie's first novel. Every sentence earns its place.

Translated Fiction

Fault Lines

Sebastián Varga

Across three continents and four decades, a family's fractures map the shape of the twentieth century.

Varga writes like a seismograph tuned to the human heart. Devastating and necessary.

What the world is saying

"The most important independent list in English-language literary fiction."

— Publishers Weekly, Best Publisher of the Year

"Folio publishes the kind of books that remind you why you learned to read in the first place. Their list is a conscience in a market of noise."

Chimera Review of Books

Annual Publisher Roundup

"Every season, Folio finds the one title you didn't know you needed until it destroys you completely. I've stopped fighting it."

"The foreign rights catalogue from Folio is the first thing I open at Frankfurt. They've introduced me to six authors I've since sold to thirty territories."
