A nice coincidence to read Blacksad - They All Fall Down Part 1 and see this note on #InternationalTranslationDay

NOTES ON THE TRANSLATION

As editor of two previous volumes of Blacksad, I was delighted to return to the book-as both editor and translator. It's a unique situation: Juan Díaz Canales writes the original script for each book in his native Spanish, but the "official" script is always the French translation, as Dargaud is the title's primary publisher. Because I speak French and read Spanish, our translation draws from both scripts to best serve the story as well as the space for balloons and captions, which Juanjo Guarnido paints directly in the art. My partner Brandon Kander, another former Montrealer, joined me on the project, adding the necessary male element to this 1950s-style noir and our English-language adaptation thereof.
Although languages are taught as if a word-for-word correspondence exists between them, there is actually no "one" way to translate from a given language to another, especially when it comes to fiction. (Character limit hit)

How did Takarazuka Revue, a theatrical troupe with profoundly sexist and homophobic origins, end up challenging gender stereotypes instead? A review of one of Japan's most famous revues - from the good to the great to the scandalous. https://buff.ly/3MMOqGr

With so many more rudimentary animatronic Halloween decorations available this and the past year, I wonder if it's going to advance like home computers and eventually we get Dosneyland level uncanny outdoor decor or if this is just a fad that will end before that point.

[Review] Even if some small details are still missing, when finished, Look Back should, without a doubt, be acclaimed by most people.
