Go to review page

4.0

Violent Phenomena: 21 essays on Translation is an anthology of writing by 24 contributors featuring a breadth of personal experience with culture, language, translation, publishing, and grappling with colonial and imperial legacies. As the introduction puts it ‘Above all this book is a challenge to inherited assumptions about translators and translations being neutral, making the case that every aspect of translation is political.’ 

If one has an interest in translation and decolonisation pick up this book.

4.0

My favourite of Rakotoson’s oeuvre is the 2002 novel Lalana about the last journey of Rivo who is dying of AIDS. As Rivo takes a road trip with his friend Naivo to see the ocean readers also travel the landscape of Madagascar and a cathartic meditation on death.

 ~NOTABLE READ OF 2023~

Sometimes you just need something cozy and simple. Whether it’s comfort food or a familiar piece of media. Combining the two is Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen. A cooking comic spinoff by artist Sato Hiromi drawing from the much awarded and popular Witch Hat Atelier by Shirahama Kamome.
