Rodrigo de Souza Leão
was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1965 and died there in 2008, in a psychiatric clinic, shortly after publishing his extraordinary autobiographical novel
All Dogs are Blue
. Souza Leão was a prolific writer, publishing several poetry collections in his lifetime and co-founding
Zunái
, one of Brazil’s most important poetry magazines. Since his death, further works of fiction have been published to widespread acclaim and his ‘outsider’ art received a dedicated exhibition at Rio’s Museum of Modern Art.
All Dogs are Blue
has been adapted for the stage and will be published in Spanish in Juan Pablo Villalobos’s translation.

Zoë Perry
was born in 1981 to an American father and a Canadian mother. A full-time translator since 2010, she also works from French. After spending the last eight years living everywhere from Moscow to Montreal, including four years in São Paulo, she now calls Manchester
home.

Stefan Tobler
founded And Other Stories in 2010 out of frustration at the great books not being published in English. Born in the Amazon to English and Swiss parents, he translates from Portuguese and German. Recent translations include
Água Viva
by Clarice Lispector and the poetry collection
Silence River
by Antônio Moura.

Deborah Levy
writes fiction, plays and poetry. Her most recent novel,
Swimming Home
(2011, And Other Stories) was shortlisted for the 2012 Man Booker
Prize, the 2012 Specsavers National Book Awards (UK Author of the Year) and the 2013 Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Prize, while the title story of her latest collection,
Black Vodka: ten stories
(2013, And Other Stories), was shortlisted for the 2012 BBC International Short Story Award. Her essay
Things I Don’t Want to Know
is out in 2013, published by Notting Hill Editions.
