![]() One thing she wanted to know was: What is a kitchen curtain? Though the simile seemed obvious to me-“it’s one of those ridiculously tiny curtains that are sheer and mostly decorative,” I wrote in the comments-one thing I have learned from translating is that when an image is obvious to the translator but opaque to everyone else, there is often something missing. The image is a bit odd, or at least odd enough that it puzzled the English editor. Like an octopus, I believe a novel has several hearts. Aside from its searching, one of the heart-keys to Permafrost may be in the novel’s dedication: To poetry, for permitting it. Translator and author Jennifer Croft once spoke of identifying the “heart” of a novel, and how this can become key to its translation. There is a similar impulsiveness at work in the way our protagonist navigates the world, always seeking to find a home for herself on the margins of a conventional life. Meanwhile, she would write on the computers of her daughter’s school. In exchange for milk and cheese, she helped the shepherd with his chores she also used his washing machine. ![]() Her nearest neighbor was a shepherd who lived three kilometers away. In her early twenties, for example, Eva moved to the mountains of Catalonia with her two-year-old daughter. I think of Eva Baltasar first and foremost as a poet, and have always admired in her that curious impulsiveness I often attribute to poets. This may be more anecdotal than it is revelatory, and yet it closes in on a quality I feel is integral to the text: its searching.īy the time Permafrost was first published in 2018, Eva Baltasar had written and published ten poetry collections. Before long she grew bored of the truth and began to inject fiction into her writing. “Write about your life,” the author’s therapist instructed, and Eva Baltasar obeyed. I'll continue to play with it some more to see if it grows on me, but I can't imagine this becoming a part of my software collection in it's current incarnation.Permafrost started as a prompt in a therapy session. If those buttons aren't integrated with app, then they're kind of pointless.Īlso, there's no indication that your Pandora music is being scrobbled to Last.fm. It shouldn't have to leave the app, particularly since it's a web browser itself, to update my profile, find a song or get HELP. ![]() Why is it that when I click on any action that doesn't involve playing music, it takes me OUT of musicality and into my default browser (which is Chrome at the moment). BUT, I do have the solution! :-) I hate suggesting copying the functionality of other program, but if they were to add the ability to record streams and stream wirelessly to my Airport Express (like *coughing* PandoraJam) I would pay $10 for this in a heartbeat! Maybe even $15! :-) I just don't see the value in paying double digits for this app. They have a launch special of $10, but I'm still hesitant at that price. Are these 3 conveniences worth $15? Unfortunately I'm gritting my teeth and saying no. Global keyboard shortcuts (and Apple Remote integration) to control the music outside the application window. You can close the window and the music continues to play (ok, this is nice).Ģ. There are 3 advantages of using Musicality over your standard browser.ġ. A few extra bells and whistles are thrown in to add "convenience" but somewhere deep down I feel like they're just there to disguise the fact that's it really just a mini web browser. You get practically the identical interface if you visit these sites in Firefox or Safari. In summary, it's feels like a stripped down web browser dedicated to "surfing"only Pandora and Last.fm. When I read the description, I really wanted to like it, and I still want to like it, but there's just not a lot to it. Ok, my initial judgement of this app is kind of conflicted.
