City of Asylum Books is Almost Here
City of Asylum Books @ Alphabet City is an independent bookstore specializing in works in translation and world literature. We carry over 7000 titles for adults and children. We are dedicated to offering a geographically and linguistically diverse collection of translations from many genres: literature, poetry, history, travel, cookbooks, and children’s literature.
City of Asylum Books will also feature:
- Complete collections of some of the most prominent publishers of translated literature, including: New York Review of Books, Archipelago Books, Dalkey Archive, New Directions, along with many others
- A robust children’s section dedicated to promoting diverse authors and stories
- A weekly Saturday morning story hour for children
- A cookbook section (my personal favorite) featuring gorgeously produced regional and ethnic cookbooks from all over the world
- A Free Book Program for our low-income community members
The bookstore is committed to furthering City of Asylum’s mission of giving voice and promoting cross-cultural exchange. We hope you will visit with an open mind and an open heart.
