Misinterpretation

Ledia Xhoga’s Misinterpretation is a sharp, inventive debut that plays with language, translation, and the gaps between what is said and what is understood. The novel follows a translator caught in a web of political intrigue, where a single mistranslation could have catastrophic consequences. Xhoga uses this premise to explore the slipperiness of truth and the power dynamics embedded in communication. Her narrative is clever, layered, and often darkly funny, making Misinterpretation a standout among contemporary political novels.
