AN accessible model of publishing made possible Nowhere People, an ambitious novel by Paulo Scott translated from the Portuguese by Daniel Hahn. It is a raw examination of our need to belong that gives an important voice to indigenous Latin America. Set in post-dictatorship Brazil, this story offers an audacious exploration of ideology punctuated with punchy surprises. The publisher, And Other Stories, is an exciting little outfit based in London that has a powerful sense of the truly international.
