RIP Edith Grossman. I’m eagerly anticipating reading her translation of Don Quixote which I picked up recently. www.nytimes.com/2023/09/0…
Currently reading: Offshore Lightning by Nazuna Saito 📚
With Offshore Lightning D&Q continues to bring more classic (mainly 1970s-1990s) female manga artists work to english speaking audiences. Some other books they’ve released are Talk to My Back by Yamada Murasaki, Red Colored Elegy by Seiichi Hayashi and The Sky is Blue With a Single Cloud by Kuniko Tsurita.
Saito Nazuna came late to comics, not publishing her first stories until she was 40. The stories in Offshore Lightning are primarily from the early nineties except two from the mid-2010s.
Developing habit: take walks in the evening during golden hour to not only walk but look for opportunities to take photos. Often when I’m out and about it’s the mid-day hours. Not the best light for photos. I’m using an old app called Rizon to give me the heads up when golden hour starts and ends.
