Cutting Edge

[close] Telegram, the literary fiction imprint of Saqi Books, was founded in 2005 to publish the best in new and classic international writing, from debut novelists to established literary heavyweights. Telegram has brought cutting-edge and authoritative voices from the UK, Spain, North Africa, Korea, Hungary, France, China, the Middle East and beyond to readers with an appetite for "choice international fiction" (The Independent). Award-winning independent Saqi was started in 1983 to bridge the divide between Middle Eastern and Western cultures. Over the years, the list expanded to include writers from the Balkans, Afghanistan, Pakistan, France and the UK, with an expanding fiction list that prompted the establishment of Telegram.

[close] Saqi was founded in 1984 with the inspiration of printing quality academic and general interest books on the Middle East. Saqi’s links with cutting-edge and authoritative voices from North Africa and the Middle East have led to a rigorous reassessment of Arab cultural heritage. Since then, Saqi has expanded its network to include writers from all over the world. Saqi publishes a wide range of titles including books on history, politics, art, architecture, gender issues, women’s studies and cuisine. A magnet for daring new voices from across the globe, Saqi’s broad international outlook has never been more relevant.
