Publisher (Utz Publishing) and translator, mostly of children’s fantasy. Tiptoeing around explicit words and vague feelings. Often wears socks with Moomins on them. Heartbroken.

The one thing I really miss about the 'older world' is browsing library stacks, and card catalogues. However much I appreciate databases and retrieving what I want in moments, the serendipity of 'the book next to the one I wanted' and 'the article in the same issue' cannot be replicated. #Libraries

That was the moment I realized how precisely this play had been constructed, so that it worked on the audience exactly when and as intended. Like the play was a tool shaping us, a device used to craft the audience response.

הבוקר, דיון שלם במשפחה על מה זה ״תואם״. כי סכמת הצבעים לא תואמת, בגדול, אבל גם על הגרביים וגם על הספר ״תעלומת עכברון הים הקטן״ יש צוללת צהובה.

Art is an act of hope. Writing is an act of rebellion. The world will always need more stories--from real human beings, not bullshit plagiarism machines. Every book is a love story from the author, and every reader is fighting the war against cruelty, ignorance, and hopelessness. We are fighting.

There are stories about the Wizard of Oz set, before this technology… Burt Lahr’s costume was sewn out of real lion pelts, basically a giant fursuit, and he sweat like a maniac. Meanwhile, Jack Haley (Tin Woodsman) couldn’t even bend his legs to sit, he needed to /lean/ on a special contraption.

את הספציפי הזה עדיין לא קראתי, אבל העטיפה די משקפת דברים אחרים שלה שכן קראתי. דחוסים, ליריים, עשירים, מעט סוריאליסטיים, מלאי דימויים בוטניים ורסיסי אגדות.

Best of luck. I’d shop exclusively with you if I were the least bit local.
