Jānis Joņevs & Daina Tabūna
Born in 1980 in Jelgava, Latvia, Jānis Joņevs was educated at the Jelgava State Gymnasium and the Latvian Academy of Culture where he was awarded a Master’s Degree. Joņevs works as a copywriter and, since 2002, he has also worked as a reviewer and translator from French. Joņevs is best known for his debut novel Doom 94 which was a bestseller upon its release in 2013.
“…this is not just a book for metalheads or for those who are interested in the history of music, it is also for anyone interested in an authentic, simple, unpretentious, and witty story embedded in a post-socialist country.” — Branko Prlja
Daina Tabūna (1985) is a Latvian prose writer. Her short story collection Pirmā reize (The First Time) was shortlisted for the Annual Latvian Literary Award 2014 as the best debut of the year and was widely acclaimed. It is a contemporary coming-of-age book addressing sensitive issues of acquiring experience and forming as a personality. Tabūna’s stories have been published in the UK by The Emma Press, bearing the title The Secret Box. The illustrated collection features three stories from her debut The First Time. Tabūna’s works have also been translated into Lithuanian, Slovenian, German, and Chinese. Currently she is working on a novel, and her first children’s book will be published soon.
“The Secret Box is an engaging, thoughtful and disarmingly varied selection of stories … A thoroughly enjoyable read offering real insights into the many ways that the lives of ordinary people are affected by huge political turmoil.” — Manley Hadley
