Anne Garrta has come into the English-speaking world with high acclaim. Her book Sphinx (also translated by Emma Ramadan) is our best seller ever. She has big fans among LGBTQ+ readers, translation fans (of course), fans of experimental writing (especially assured by her place in the Oulipo). Sphinx is still receiving reviews and spotlights to this day. In addition, translator Ramadan runs RiffRaff bookstore in Providence Rhode Island. This is her fifth translation for Deep Vellum.

"In Concrete is Anne Garrta's greatest narrative accomplishment to date. Translator Emma Ramadan has skillfully managed to recreate lewd jokes, playful puns, and linguistic puzzles resulting in an utterly delightful read." - Deep Vellum Books, Cristina Rodriguez

"Garrta and Ramadan continue to redefine the limits of language-these are not words to read but words to bite, chew, choke on. Consuming In Concrete, with all its pleasures and surprises, feels like learning a new game, ruled by Garrta's definitive and mystifying blend of folklore and testimony." - Book Culture, Kyle Alderdice
