Midas X The Walking Tree
Midas is thrilled to be working with a brand-new independent publisher, The Walking Tree, who is launching a global literary series to “travel with writers” in January 2027. Made to be read in a single sitting, each book is dedicated to a different city and is written by an acclaimed author who has called that place home.
Their first titles will be:
NEW YORK by Catherine Lacey
TOKYO by Emily Itami
SAO PAULO by Brian Winter
ROME by Eleonora Marangoni
