The World, the Flesh and Myself by Michael Davidson
“The life-history of a lover of boys” as the author introduced it, this is the recently republished first memoir of an English foreign correspondent, covering his first sixty-one years.

Dancing with Finn: Boy Stories by Frank Demelzi
An art teacher’s visit to Berlin to see old friends becomes a euphoric adventure following a chance encounter with a mysterious school-age skater. Dancing with Finn presents this and five other stories that combine page-turning storytelling with meticulous attention to style and symbolism.
An Ottoman courtier's long poem cataloguing the attributes of boys from different nations in 1792/3 was adapted in 1909 by another connoisseur of boys to French tastes of the day as Le Livre des Beaux. The result, a charming meld of the spirit of two now-lost worlds, is here at last translated into English.

As old certainties get challenged, Reseda’s grip on reality begins to slip. The first work of Austrian author Alfred Grünewald (1884–1942) to be published in translation.
