Over the course of three months, Marcé has met with publishers, literary agents, and film and animation studios, in Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, and Vietnam.

‘With almost 100 million inhabitants, Vietnam is undoubtedly one of the most emerging and attractive countries in Asia,’ said author Xavier Marcé. ‘After the publication in Spanish of The Stone Lotus, Vietnam has become a priority market for me and I am confident that the literary agents at Squirrel Communication and Culture will be the best allies to ensure that my works are soon enjoyed in Vietnamese.’
‘After meeting Xavier Marcé at the Frankfurt Book Fair, it became clear to us that his work had great potential,’ said Mai Anh Truong, Right Deputy Manager at Squirrel Communication and Culture. ‘Seeing his growth and the publication of a novel as intriguing and exciting as The Stone Lotus, which connects Spain with Vietnam, we are convinced that we will soon ensure that Vietnamese readers can enjoy his stories.’
