color theory on a book cover I just noticed something cool about the cover of BYE BYE I LOVE YOU: for slides I'm creating (for a talk in Belgium in December), I pulled colors from the cover and realize the lighter color of the YOU isn't in fact silver (as it had always registered to me) but

I look forward to meeting people at the Texas Book Festival in Austin next week. Actual people, real readers, and not people who want to enhance their lives by reading 5 minute summaries of books.

A month ago I presented BBILY to friends and colleagues, hosted by @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social. These are the introductory comments that I made: michaelerard.com/blog/comment...

"When you really get to know someone, you start to see the world through their eyes — and it’s not always the way that you imagined."

Lynne calls a bit at the end of BYE BYE I LOVE YOU my "communicative living will," which is perfect. It's one of my favorite parts. I read it aloud at the @eoldoulauk.bsky.social meeting last May, which was a perfect venue. For other audiences, not in the dying frame of mind, it hits hard.

Thank you, Lynne, for this review!

One book that's going to stick with me a long time* is @michaelerard.bsky.social's Bye Bye I Love You. *Maybe till I say my last words. I hope so. It'll be particularly useful then! I was lucky to be able to review it for @thetls.bsky.social www.the-tls.com/languages-ll...

Sound Symbolism by Kimi Akita: https://doi.org/10.21428/e2759450.4ea61aa9

In BYE BYE I LOVE YOU I write about ”percocity,” a neologism to describe efforts to communicate with people as late in the lifespan as possible and also under conditions of severe impairment that earlier rendered them incommunicado. These animal comm efforts remind me of percocity, in that
