  1. Speer!

    Speer by Nicola Griffith, translated by Elena Helfrecht (Carcosa Verlag, 2026)

    Last week I got my copies of the German translation of Spear: Speer. They are gorgeous objects. The front cover has a wonderful trompe l’oeil 3-D effect; the end papers are a gorgeous autumnal berry colour; and each comes with its own beautiful bookmark ribbon. You can see that better in this photo:

    I don’t read German, but given the fine attention to detail in the physical presentation, I have no doubt the translation, by Elena Helfrecht, is very good. (Any German readers out there who read it, please let me know what you think!)

    There are now several editions of Spear—English, Spanish, French, Japanese, and German—and all are lovely. I feel very lucky.

  3. @randahl we think #trump is shooting in his own foot by deportations of immigrant workers. After that there Will be mass arrest of leftwing people and others and being send to do labour on the fields. Remember Albert #speer

  4. Today's Flickr photo with the most hits was taken in Berlin. It harks back to the Nazis. Here is the Heavy Load-Bearing Body, on General Pape Strasse. This immense concrete drum was constructed to measure subsidence. It was the proofing ground for the crazed building plans Hitler had conceived for Germania, and which Speer was to execute.
