translator of Italian &c. “irresistibly drawn by a web of thrilling daydreams awash on a shore of panic”. 🇮🇹 🇬🇷
Probably the best possible review?

Seeking a publisher for another of Castaldi's books. Still experimental but totally different. Hallucinatory yet controlled (punctuated but paratactic, Steinlike). Please reach out if this is you! 👀

This year’s Eisner nominations for Best Archival Project include my translation of Marcel Labrume by Attilo Micheluzzi – a fascinating writer who blends the fictional and the historical so seamlessly that the translation was truly an archival project (took years off my life).

People don't really take the translation of graphic literature seriously. They should.

Catching up on book posts with this gorgeous iteration of The Passenger, where my contribution of Cristina Portolano’s mini graphic memoir “Napule” sits alongside a host of timely pieces about the city Malaparte called “the most mysterious in Europe.”
