"In the chipped rearview mirror whose corroded edges were covered with grease, the small unobstructed circle in the center framed the passenger’s face when Fabo looked from a certain angle." – Nebojša Lujanović, tr. @enaselimo.bsky.social

"He searched frantically for a topic he hadn’t yet breached, because in those short intervals of silence, he became what he really was: a person without anyone, without a history, without roots ..." — Nebojša Lujanović (tr. @enaselimo.bsky.social ) minorliteratures.com/2025/11/06/c...

Thrilled to share an excerpt from a book whose English translation is only available in continental Europe but took me nearly a year to complete, and grateful to @minorliteratures.bsky.social for giving it a more mobile home!

“It’s not just that the far right is reactionary, that it reacts to something, but it’s a preventive counter-revolution”: An Interview with Jack Z. Bratich — Daniel Lukes minorliteratures.com/2025/11/04/i...

Absolutely fascinating read - on microfascism, and the rise of the far right in meme culture.

"Today, what does it mean to take the internet as the media cultural expression of contemporary fascism? Or certain digital networks and the production of memes?" Jack Z. Bratich talks to Daniel Lukes minorliteratures.com/2025/11/04/i...

I love this, about finding the connections of our minds (and hearts) through reading together, in opposition to careerist networking. It always makes me so happy to receive or send ‘I read/saw this and thought of you / thought this would interest you’ (it’s my love language).
