Its caption read: “We hear the call of 'Moby Dick,' still echoing today for anyone who yearns to feel the magic and terror, the stress and calm of the sea and its ships.” blogs.loc.gov/maps/2026/09... 001

Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Ever since the last time I left it, I've dreamed of returning to Dublin for another bookshop crawl. Finally booked tickets. I'll arrive early on Dec. 14th with an empty suitcase and a grin. Next up, arranging a hotel within walking distance of both @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social and the Palace Bar. 3130

Reposted by RememberistFive Leaves Bookshop @fiveleavesbooks.bsky.social · 19/08/2026We're only a small shop, but our fiction in translation bays - divided by language - now have fifty languages. Welcome Bulgarian to the club. Some, most, sections are small... we know of only two books in translation from Swahili... but we cover from Albanian to Yiddish. #booksky #booksintranslation 29221
Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I'm just amazed at what I've uncovered in the archives. In this picture, the handsome gent on the right is my father's cousin Roger. He was a machine-gunner on a French bomber during WWII. His sister Jeanine escaped occupied France and fled to England, where she joined the Forces françaises libres. 2140

Yes, having given you pocket sized versions of The Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Aeneid, next week I'm standing up for The Argonautica 🌊🐏 That's the one with Jason, the Argonauts, and the Golden Fleece - and of course Medea. Shout out to Apollonius of Rhodes! 28215
Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Bright side: Apparently, the summer-long heatwave is due to break tonight. I'll beat the last of it by going to see The Conversation on the big screen. In rural France. I'm just a lucky so-and-so. And I just did a headcount of the gang of cats who live next to my house. They're all good. 140

Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 09/08/2026To soothe my weary soul, I think I will go visit Dublin. The last time I was there, I had an epic bookstore crawl with an old friend.

Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Today's book haul has made me so happy. I've already read King Kong Theory in French, but I have a thing about translators and their work. This one was done by the great Frank Wynne. I've been looking forward to the new Emily Wilson, so I dived right into that sea. 050
Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 31/07/2026When I moved to France, the U.S. was bad but not broken. It's been quite an experience watching my old country burn itself down. Here's a slice of American dystopia: I can't send postcards and letters to the US anymore. Everything must be registered, and that's no guarantee it'll get through customs 4217
Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 30/07/2026On my dad's side: Building a log cabin and a whisky still on a small plot of land in Canada. On paper, my grandfather was a carpenter but he made his money as a bootlegger on the Chicago route. On my mom's side: A Pinkerton detective in Chicago investigating bootleggers during Prohibition. 270
Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 30/07/2026On books that help me ignore a heatwave. The Eve Babitz letters arrived this morning, and I've already slipped between its cool covers. When I opened the door to the postman this morning he said, "Let me guess, a book?" Indeed. "It's very effective in the heat!" Also yes. 160
Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Solidarity with my neighbors here in SW France. The local government is providing free vacations for people affected by the local forest fires, the firefighters and their families. People who most need a rest right about now. 141
Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 20/07/2026As seen from a café in San Sebastián last month. It did my heart good to be in a place where solidarity with the resistance is not criminalized. 050

Knopf, you will be familiar with their little essays about typeface. This is from Meaning No Offence, by John Riddell, from The John Day Company (a competitor, as you might guess). 38318

Reposted by RememberistNeglected Books @neglectedbooks.com · 12/07/2026The French novelist Paul de Kock was a "felinophile enragé." His house was surrounded by a high wall, within which his cats roamed freely. When neighbors found a stray, they didn't even bother to ring his bell, but simply tossed the cat over the wall to join the others. 3486

Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Took a leisurely drive to a nearby village to check out their little free library. I like to spike them with excellent books, and occasionally I find something good to take home. This one was sweet, but in dire shape. I swept up a bit, and am thinking of making a project out of cleaning it up. 180

Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Once again, reading Wait Until Spring, Bandini has helped me through a heatwave. John Fante's description of winter lifts me out of this absurd heat and drops me into Colorado snow. 020

Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I opened my front door to the postie who was smiling and holding out a big box to me. He asked how many books were in there. I said just two, and sorry for the weight, but it's Sherlock Holmes. He smiled again and said bonne lecture! 1121

Rememberist @rememberist.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Mom. At 18, she was a bartender for the Outfit in Cicero. When I came along, she was a young widow of a small-time mobster in Chicago. She rarely spoke to me of that time, no matter how many questions I asked. But it was fun watching mafia movies with her. She'd say, "Well, that's some bullshit." 3727
