Gazebo Books has today announced an exciting list of new releases for 2023, including a growing number of international literary translations, as well as books by notable Australian authors.

Upcoming titles include comic artist Mandy Ord’s new graphic novel, Bulk Nuts – the follow-up to her Stella Prize long-listed graphic memoir When One Person Dies the Whole World is Over – and The Swift Dark Tide, the debut memoir of Ukranian-Australian author Katia Ariel.

In 2023, Gazebo will also publish its first book by a Cambodian author, the esteemed novelist and journalist Soth Polin, and first-time English translations of The Mud of a Century by prize-winning Japanese author Yūka Ishii and Fury by Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek.
