Cover of Nimrods: a fake-punk self-hurt anti-memoir by Kawika Guillermo. Cover is an abstract collage of the same topless man in burgundy lighting, three times in a row, superimposed over a larger image of the same topless man in yellow lighting three times in a row. Over the man's face are smiley faces in yellow marker. The title info is represented through tape and stickers on the art.

A new review of Y-Dang Troeung’s REFUGEE LIFEWORLDS from the International Institute for @AsianStudies. This one gets personal, and admires the love that Y-Dang hoped her book would give to refugees, Cambodians, and anyone who came across her work. iias.asia/the-review/refugee…
