“Tao of Jeet Kune Do: New Expanded Edition” by Bruce Lee –

“Relationship is understanding. It is a process of self-revelation. Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself—to be is to be related.”

Deaf Republic / Ilya Kaminsky

You can find my review of David Bezmozgis’ latest here in the LA Review of Books.

And you can find my translation of Marina Eskin’s “Janiculum” here in The Wax Paper.

“In the end, the girl’s scream — a fearful sound — turning into innocuous laughter can resemble the pathos of an immigrant’s linguistic misapprehension turning into bathos when apprehension comes, the drama and tension lost in mistranslation and released like ‘an arrow that landed between us, narrowly missing its mark.'” This is from my review of David Bezmozgis’ Immigrant City.
