A gorgeous visual journey through one young woman's year of emotions--from the saturated highs of early summer to the gray isolation of late winter. Enter Manjit Thapp's world, where you'll find moods that change as quickly as the weather; the different shades of anxiety and hope that each new season brings; and the stages of joy and pain that fuel our growth.

Vibrant yet darkly humorous comics for commiserating over life's deepest concerns, from artist Alison Zai We all know the gut-wrenching pang from accepting that a beautiful moment will soon become a distant memory. We all get into cycles when it feels like the failures and disappointments just keep coming.

The various dimensions of translation studies, too often studied independently, are here brought into conversation: Translation practice, including the various crafts employed by its practitioners; the specialized contexts in which translation occurs or against which translation can be considered; and the ethico-political consequences of translations or the manner of their making. Including exciting new work from leading translation theorists, practicing literary translators, and prominent thinkers from adjoining disciplines such as psychoanalysis and neuroscience, the essays gathered here demonstrate many rich areas of overlap, with translation pedagogy, the fundamental nature of translation, the translator's creativity, retranslation, canon formation, and the geopolitical stakes of literary translation among them.
