On a related note: does anyone know of any public lists or databases of small or indie presses? With contact details would be amazing, but I'd just take names for now. Our mailing list needs updating and I want to check our reach, this would be a great help, but not sure where to look.

had a few lovely emails recently from folks asking about my Cioran translation, which have inspired me to restart my old (not-at-all-)Daily Cioran excerpts of translation-in-progress.
so for all you threes of people wanting more nihilistic French-Romanian philosophy in your life: youโre welcome
