Out now: Gazebo’s third book of the year, SCHOOL

Out now: Gazebo’s third book of the year, SCHOOLGIRL, two novellas in one volume by Japan’s break-out literary star Rie Qudan (@qudanrie) 🎉

In ‘Schoolgirl’, a wealthy housewife, dogged by ennui, struggles to connect with her teenage daughter, who turns to YouTube to vent her frustration with the climate crisis and muse about her day-to-day life in Tōkyō. Through the fog of generational tension and unresolved ethics, mother and daughter find a shared connection in Osamu Dazai’s 1939 novella Schoolgirl.

In ‘Bad Music’, a music teacher named Sonata, the daughter of a famous composer, is at a crossroads. Through correspondence with her roommate Sae, a painter, she discovers art’s capacity to exceed the boundaries of acceptable behaviour — or perhaps, to stay within them. As she plots something perverse enough to risk her job, Sonata considers how truth is lost — or found — through performance.

Darkly funny and stunningly mysterious, these stories pinpoint the effects of technology, conflicting desires, and the shifts and rifts in relationships. Rie Qudan, winner of one of Japan’s most prestigious literary awards, the Akutagawa Prize, explores the affectation and compromise required of us all, providing a disquieting view of the many faces of modern life.

Gazebo’s second book — and translation — of

Gazebo’s second book — and translation — of the year, DREAMING OUT LOUD by Lydie Salvayre, is out now! ⚔️✨

Miguel de Cervantes’ 17th-century masterpiece Don Quixote remains a pillar of world literature, often celebrated as the greatest novel ever written. In the inimitable DREAMING OUT LOUD, award-winning writer Lydie Salvayre pens a series of letters to Cervantes — both satirical and sincere — interrogating his intentions and reflecting on our modern world.

Using the enduring figure of Don Quixote as a lens, Salvayre explores how we can resist forces that threaten our humanity. By bridging art and life, the absurd and the profound, she reveals what is truly timeless and inevitable.

Written with wit, passion, and the energy of a devoted reader, DREAMING OUT LOUD captures the indomitable human spirit.
