i stumbled upon an offer of the kl noir series from malaysia > i remembered that it was brooklyn-based akashic books who had started the noir series
and it was also akashic who cooperated with peepal tree from uk > by now, their peekash collabo has already turned into a publisher of its own: https://www.peekashpress.com/
the interconnections do not end at this point: peepal tree not only helped to establish peekash (run today by [bocas lit fest](https://www.bocaslitfest.com/ of trinidad and tobago), but peepal tree also recently integrated hoperoad publishing, yet another great uk indie dedicated to literature from the global south
