The October issue of Asymptote is now available online -- and it's packed with great stuff, beginning with local favorite Arnon Grunberg (e.g. Tirza !) on another local favorite, J.M.Coetzee (e.g. Elizabeth Costello !) in A Door Remains a Door.
In addition, there are lots of translations, more non-fiction pieces, and even some reviews.
Particularly admirable: the way they take advantage of some of the possibilities of online presentation -- but without doing anything too annoyingly fancy. So, for example, many of the translated pieces are also available in the original language -- just click on where it says so in the right-hand margin -- and there is often supplemental material: listen to the piece being read, or read a 'translator's note'.
A great selection of material -- and a great presentation of that material.
