‘What we publish will stay with you’: inside a small but mighty literary hit factory

Jump

  • I love reading about these tiny publishers and indie labels, where the focus gets put back on the artists’s work rather than being hyper-focussed on profits. Super admirable 🙌

    • Opinion: The Dad from Bluey Must Be Stopped [SAITRE]

    Jump

  • I feel this. That said, parents should all aspire to be Bluey’s dad, I know I do (even though I consistently fall short, I keep trying!).

    • How does freelancing work these days?

    Jump

  • Depending on your profession, generally YES.

    • Vegan influencer Zhanna Samsonova 'dies of starvation' after decade of only eating raw fruit and vegetables

    Jump

  • That’s about as valid as “guns don’t kill people, people do”.

    • Are you listening some music while reading ? Which kind of ?

    Jump

  • Same! High Fidelity is an obvious one as well :)

    • Best <$400 USD Ultrabook for Debian 12

    Jump

  • Can’t be seen with anything under $400. Rich millennials nowadays..

    /s fam, but how can you code and not understand less-than/greater-than symbols 🤨

    • [Bug/Feature?] Use SELECT TEXT on a deleted comment

    Jump

  • Yes I can read the original comment using ‘Select text’.

    • [Bug/Feature?] Use SELECT TEXT on a deleted comment

    Jump

  • Agreed, that’s a feature! 😁

    • What are the best books for someone with depression? to read...

    Jump

  • Just wanted to commend you for sharing your experience and taking the time to write this out, you’re awesome ❤️

    • I ordered a box of multiple microwave soups from Amazon, and about half of them are missing the label

    Jump

  • Go through customer support (chat).

    • The Netherlands short 390.000 homes in 2023

    Jump

  • Haha I like your disclaimer, as it was indeed very inviting to reply with a “still a swamp” :)

  • “Less food”? What are you talking about? Most of the land used for livestock is for exported meat. Also, meat is an incredibly unsustainable source of food.

    • Now YOU can fly to space for $450,000: Virgin Galactic announces first public space tourism flight for three people in August

    Jump

  • Haha “fuck, so close..”

    • Reading now "What is to be done?" Absolutely fascinating!

    Jump

  • Interesting, I remember really liking Fathers and Sons. Is the reference to this book obvious? Or how does that get into play?

    • Ancient historical fiction?

    Jump

  • The Elder (and Poetic) Edda. Beowulf fits this as well, probably.

    • Non-fiction books that are like the Bible to you? Books that you've checked to remember some facts a few times as opposed to reading them for pleasure.

    Jump

  • Master Handbook of Acoustics—lives up to its name.

    • Review: What About Men? by Caitlin Moran (The Guardian)

    Jump

  • Never heard of the writer, this book, or the person reviewing it. This review is awesome though 😁

    • What are you currently reading?

    Jump

  • Wheel of Time! I’m nearing the end of book three. At this pace I’ll be done with the series in about 5 years 😅

    • Voyager for Lemmy does not show on Google if I search "Voyager app" or: How I learned to stop calling it wefwef and love the app anyway (2023)

    Jump

  • It will take a while for the app to ‘climb’ the search result ranks (doesn’t help that ‘wefwef’ was a lot more unique of a name than Voyager, but we’ll get there 💪).

    • What are your favourite books, any genre!

    Jump

  • East of Eden, hands down. That said, it’s hard to explain why (a short description of this book will always sound dull and boring)—I suppose it’s the character development. It’s truly something else.

    Anna Karenina, but not because of Anna (she’s kind of a dickhead); because of Levin. So good.
