13 Jan

I did spend my junior year abroad in Bordeaux, but who knew I’d have to, with Rebecca Foreman, translate Trettio vinkällare: konsten att lagra och njuta av vin, featuring thirty Swedish wine cellars to learn this much about wine! Hopefully, Johan Magnusson will continue to share his extensive knowledge of wine and cellaring in more books.

Aging, death and foreignness were pet themes of Marti Parker, a social gerontologist at the Karolinska Institute who died four years ago. The stories, poems, essays, and photos encompass joyful reflections on life by Marti and other authors, edited by Rebecca Lynn Foreman, Sara Hendey, Ron Pavellas, and me.
