Due to our current 'situation,' I have found myself with a lot of time to get some much needed reading done. Like I said in class, I just finished reading 'The History of Love' by Nicole Krauss and can't seem to stop thinking about it. So much so that I have already convinced two others and my mom to read it next. It is one of those books that has chapters from different perspectives leading up to a larger whole at the end of the novel. The way in which they were written are so interesting; each character holds its own writing style that makes the book really feel like true separate perspectives.
I have also been thinking about our perspective final project and thought I might want to explore. I an interested in the typesetting and book design process, as that feeds in to my major, and am interested in the connection between the designers and the publishing realm and the roles they Olay and the voices they may hold. Aside from this, when we originally wrote questions, I touched on the modernization of the practice and how this has and will affect jobs that we have seen as permanent but may no longer be as irreplaceable as they seemed. Will the structure of publishing houses continue to reorganize as things continue to become digitized? And if so, who becomes disposable and who out lives it all? A hard thing to predict, but I feel like thinking about these things feel important as I launch myself into the real world and am searching for jobs deemed to be relevant.
