Ox and Pigeon: A Heroic E-Publishing House for Unilingual Americans

The digital literary press Ox and Pigeon was created in 2010 by three friends who, on vacation in Peru, recognized the need for high-quality English translations of all the brilliant yet inaccessible foreign authors we don’t realize we’re missing.

Their current project, The Portable Museum, is a collection of stories originally written in Spanish by European and Latin American authors, released twice a year.

One of the founders, Jason Curran, wrote a post for The Appendix about what goes into creating a literary press and where e-publishing could take us if inspired, innovative, bibliophiles took the reins.
