Luka Grigolia is a Georgian publisher representing Sulakauri Publishing and a founder of Polynomial Books. His sole focus today is translated world literature. Icelandic authors on his Sulakauri list are Halldór Laxness (The Fish Can Sing) and Sjón (The Blue Fox).
Polynomial Books was an idea to extend his list at Sulakauri. Polynomial only publishes authors whose works have never been translated into Georgian. The translations include books by Virginie Despentes, Joan Didion, Leonard Cohen, Maryse Condé, Fernanda Melchor, César Aira, Maggie Nelson, Jon Fosse, Ted Gioia and bell hooks. They will soon be publishing James Baldwin and Anthony Bourdain.
