Kotryna Zyle shorlisted for the EU Prize for Literature

I am thrilled to announce that BELOVED BONES, an exceptional novel by Kotryna Zylė that I represent, has been shortlisted for the European Union Prize for Literature among 13 candidates!

This oddly satisfying and boundary-pushing work is the first-person life story of a woman who keeps the bones of her three most important men in a display wardrobe at home. The narrative unfolds like a ritual shroud, weaving together key events, emotions, memories, flashes of dark humour, and coarse language while exploring themes of relationships, loyalty, superstition, and humanity.

BELOVED BONES, originally published by Aukso žuvys, has already seen a third reprint, national nominations and awards, and four foreign language acquisitions in less than half a year, so it’s definitely the hottest adult fiction title from Lithuania right now that would appeal to the fans of literary reads and folklore-infused stories.
