Renaissance otaku. He/him. Handle is an RPG reference but if you want to imagine me playing football with Twitter trolls you can. @trollball@mstdn.social
Summer Kitchens: Recipes and Reminiscences from Every Corner of Ukraine
Olia HerculesMarc JacobsRead “Summer Kitchens” by @Olia_Hercules. Came across a recipe for chovlent, which is the Ukrainian adaptation of Jewish cholent. Food from Закарпатские Область, the SW corner of Ukraine. I do wish the cookbook had dish names in Ukrainian alphabet, not just transliterated. https://t.co/Tp8Gc0tvd3

Inspector Imanishi Investigates
Seicho MatsumotoMarc JacobsSome of Matsumoto's crime fiction is translated into English. I recommend "Points and Lines" and "Inspector Imanishi Investigates." The novel Zero Focus has not been translated into English, sadly.

Dope
Sara GranMarc JacobsJust read “Dope,” by Sara Gran. Holy [blank] this was a good book. What did I do today? Bought groceries, cooked dinner, and read this whole book. Highly recommended noir fiction with a junkie protagonist. https://t.co/qunZ7Niw2B

Mamushka: Recipes from Ukraine and Eastern Europe
Olia HerculesMarc Jacobs@Olia_Hercules From US edition. No Ukrainian. 😭 In US edition of Mamushka, there was Ukrainian underneath the English. (Embarrassed me: your nudli recipe was where I realized Ukrainian and Russian alphabet were not identical. I’ve learned a lot since then, хаха) https://t.co/Uzltvffdvs

The Hollow City
Dan WellsMarc JacobsJust finished Dan Wells’ “The Hollow City,” from 2015. What a roller coaster of a novel. The protagonist has schizophrenia, and yet he must solve a mystery. Recommended. Not good bed time reading, though. Thank you @sfsignal for tweeting about a book from 2015.
