this had me thinking of more translations from New Directions that I have read from dark, sociopolitical to absurd and surreal…
I highly recommend these two recent books from
@NewDirections
. A novel and collection of translated stories, both books feature the wreckage of our world with wonderful sentences and visceral humor. ✨📚

The four best books I've read so far this year
(by dead authors because every living writer is the best author and you should buy and read their books—you should absolutely read JUDAS GOAT, LANDSCAPES, and WHEN I SING, MOUNTAINS DANCE, though).

My grandmother passed away this morning shortly after a fall that resulted in a broken hip. She suffered from dementia this last year and did not recognize any of us. I loved to hear stories about her life and will cherish the last time she talked to me and eventually recognized

this collection from manga artist Sasaki Maki is so weird and bonkers. The afterword is a good short history on some of the alt manga and Garo magazine. Published by Breakdown Press (UK), this book is out of print and was lucky to find one, but I have heard rumors of reprint. ✨
