Beyond the Rice Fields opens a historical-fiction route, while Return to the Enchanted Island moves towards contemporary coming of age and Malagasy myth. Raharimanana’s Return connects a writer’s story with memory and national histories of violence. Translations from the Night introduces Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo’s poetry in English. The bilingual Voices from Madagascar broadens the selection across voices and forms, including writers harder to find in separate translations. The Ibonia epic and Hainteny collection introduce Malagasy oral tradition in translations by Lee Haring and Leonard Fox; the translators are not the authors of these traditional works.
