Well I am grateful to you that this interview happened! Everyone should have a copy of David’s “Necessary” on their shelf.

I happen to be one of the translators in this issue and I really encourage people to support TSLR!

Could it be Bryan Karetnik? Found odd that someone would enquire for what seemed to be some straightforward information to find online…and then I spent easily half an hour stumbling around to try and find out…

I’m generally terrible at keeping up with social media haha. Anywho here I am with my newest creation! Vibes were “school’s out”. 🤣 Massive disclaimer that the scholar robe is an abstract version of the real one and does not aspire to be anything else than that!

That was my impression but I also did just page through it quickly! Little sleep, wandering tons. Not the most comprehensive reading :’) Wonderful bookstore in any case, reminded me of my childhood in Spain!

Hi! Hmm so I didn’t buy it because house is full of books 🤣 but for the most part it was a collection of world poetry translated into Chinese! Some commentary in between but otherwise a tad arid as a textbook.

This translator is currently traveling in Xiamen, where I wandered into a delightful second hand bookstore.
This was the first book my eyes landed on. Serendipity much?

Here in Beijing I’m part of a cultural collective for which I do most of the event posters. My (ongoing) experience as a self-taught illustrator has been a true reflection on creative practice, perfectionism and the intersection of it all with the realities of my life. Here’s my latest work!

First read of 2024. Her Wiki page made me think of Elfriede Jelinek. I’ve been told it’s not her easiest book for a first but here we are!
