Fiction
Unruly Roger
Ana Paula MaiaTranslated by Claire Williams
“An ulcer is like the calloused hand of a labourer.” A firing, a new suit still being paid for in instalments — and a narrator who keeps talking.
Fiction
Lavie in the Frightful Light
Juliana FrankTranslated by Hannah Bowers
“Sixteen years old. Virgin. Hair in disarray.” The voice Litro printed on the cover of the issue itself — a girl demanding to get to know life.
Poetry
An Equation in Hyde Park
Marília GarciaTranslated by Eloise Stevens
“it is raining in hyde park today and i am on the other side” — Marília Garcia’s long-distance poem.
