Congratulations to Tadhg Mac Dhonnagáin on the publication of his award-winning novel Madame Lazare. Originally written in Irish, it has now been translated into German by Elvira Veselinović, as well as into Serbian and Estonian. Future editions are forthcoming in Polish, Romanian and Macedonian. It was published in Germany by Kröner Verlag this year. The novel has done fantastically well in Germany and has now been longlisted for the Hot List 2026 of books from smaller independent publishing houses. This is a great achievement, and we wish him all the best!
