What We're Reading Jolene Brink from the Marketing team read The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby. During my senior year of high school, I opted to take jazz band instead of the I.B. Theory of Knowledge class taught by my favorite teacher. She helped manage my teenage FOMO by sharing the list of texts for the class with me. One memoir on her list, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, stayed with me. Written by journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby after a stroke at the age of 43 that left him completely paralyzed—except for the ability to blink and slightly move his head—the thin volume describes his life locked in that body, written by communicating each word with a series of blinks. Reading this book again as an adult, I was struck by his meditations on mortality and loss, but also his ability to articulate a love for the world happening around him even as he grieved his ability to return and participate more fully in that world again.

Follow Submittable on Spotify for all the jams. What We're Reading Rachel Mindell from Marketing recently finished Lost Children Archive, by Valeria Luiselli. This exquisite and disturbingly relevant novel astounds on multiple levels. It is, in fact, nearly all levels—deeply indebted to external texts and story within story. What is ostensibly the tale of a road trip taken by a married couple and their two children becomes the ageless journey of migration, love’s disintegration, the search for meaning in art, annihilation of native cultures, and true-to-life current events involving young asylum-seekers. Luiselli interrogates what it means to archive—our often futile attempt to save what is so easily lost. Heartbreaking and necessary, I recommend this novel unequivocally, as well as Luiselli’s other work, especially her essays about working as an immigration court translator for children.

Follow Submittable on Spotify for all the jams. What We're Reading Jamie Iguchi, Security and Compliance Officer, just finished Blake Crouch’s novel, Recursion. Everything I’ve ever wondered about parallel universes, the Mandela Effect, perception, time, and memory are all masterfully integrated in Blake Crouch’s latest sci-fi/thriller, Recursion. If you’ve previously encountered recursive themes (like in Hofstadter’s Gödel, Escher, Bach, for example), you know there’s a chance you’ll need to take notes to keep up. Not so with Recursion. It’s a relentless mind-bender but also accessible and surgically precise. This book takes a deep dive into the human condition re: love, loss, regret, and what it means to commit wholly to another person and one’s professional endeavors. Pro tip: If you like to listen while you read, the soundtrack from Interstellar is the perfect pairing for this gem.

What We're Reading Submittable's guest illustrator Josh Quick recently read Mauve: How One Man Invented a Color That Changed the World. Purple is a dangerous color that I’ve feared using in my artwork. It can overwhelm an illustration with saturation leaving it looking gaudy. If applied correctly it can give a composition magical properties. Simon Garfield’s latest book is named after a light purple. His account of William Perkin’s invention of mauve contented my color palette nerdiness and British history interest. I’m also using purple more with less caution.

What We're Listening To This week's Submishmash Weekly playlist: Tyler, the Creator sheds his skin as a vulgar internet cowboy, slowthai punching you 'til his hands turn blue, grim themes and celestial hums from Kevin Morby, and more. Our new playlist, 2019 Selections, offering standout tracks from this year, updated in real time. What We're Reading Customer Support Specialist Emily Freeman read Rachel Calof’s Story: Jewish Homesteader on the Northern Plains. Beautifully translated from the original Yiddish, this memoir offers a richly detailed view of life on the American prairie during the early 19th century. At a time when the bulk of Russian Jewish immigrants were settling in eastern-US cities, Calof moved west, the bold and adventurous spirit that drove her to the New World pushing her even deeper towards its frontier. She describes the minutiae of her days in vivid, and often excruciating, detail: from the discomfort and indignity of childbirth on a straw-covered table, to the complexities of keeping kosher through times of scarcity and sickness. Calof's voice is engaging, intelligent, and timeless. It's a short book, but richly rendered, a story at once unique to Calof, and more broadly emblematic of the fierce and resilient women of the American west.
