As I have wholeheartedly taken the task of translating Lacoue, Celan & am now reading the genius Guimarães Rosa, endless inferences on language have occured me, a suffering of long complex ascends to reach at these incredibly clear sired bright peaks. It's giving me a full life; I get to read ideas to tropes far beyond the commonly said about how only foreign languages give us a degree of consciousness so clear we cannot help to strange ourselves as we talk. Personally, I hope I write something about that very soon – I feel myself smiling like mad, extatic. Guimarães Rosa terrifies me. His works are stunning; even the short poems about animals. 'The Devil to pay in the Backlands' is how they tried to translate the frankly impossible title of his greatest work to English: Rosa's language is, first of all, his own warped intuition, not something 'regional', 'characteristic' (I hate when scholars say that). I heard that Germans translators almost went delirious trying to translate this piece, they went from 'let's face this very sui generis work' to 'how the fuck what the fuck we cant we cant we cant'.
Good afternoon to Kuwei stans, people who don’t like AFTG books, but love the fanon and people who think Call Down The Hawk is better than any of the original books.

Ughh I keep forgetting to take photos of my workspace. But I am slowly getting somewhere? I think?
I've found one GREAT article today, so that's something. It will sure be useful in my thesis.

Yeah, for sone reason I keep forgetting to take the photos... which makes me forget to post, which makes me more forgetful aaand the circle of failure closes.
I just hope I'll do enough to attempt my bachelor's exam.

Still writing. I had to scratch pretty much everything I've written yesterday... Now, after 4,5h of work, I've got 5 pages that are actually worth something.
I'm going to continue working into the night, but I wanted to post this now, since I tend to forget.
THE 9TH PAWN COVER REVEAL
Welcome to Wonderland!
Or at least Rose Sinclair’s Big Bad Magic version of it. This April, we had a sneaky release of The 8th Rank. — Where Malcolm Wolf is a mage without memories, searching for his rebellious childhood crush Robin before their magic-fueled journey ends with the murder of the Queen of Hearts.
Today we are so excited to give you a heads up and reveal the cover to the next standalone in the Big Bad Magic series: The 9th Pawn!
A playful necromancer. A prince looking for love. And a quest to save a sleeping princess.
Madison is just a simple hatter fulfilling the whims of the fussy aristocracy. Or at least he’s pretty sure he was in one lifetime. Now more of a tea drinking sort with a pension for necromancy.
After meeting a curious young prince named Henri, Madison is ready to kiss as many frogs as it takes to win his heart. In all of his lifetimes, Madison has never met anyone as captivating as this magical prince.
To prove his sincerity as a suitor, Madison is sent on a quest to help stabilize the kingdoms that he helped tear apart. After thinking love was in his past, can Madison now keep the spark of romance they ignited together alive?
You can pre-order the Alice and Mad Hatter’s story right now and it will magically appear on your kindle December 28th!
