Visible: Text + Image (Calico, 6)

Visible gathers six genre-defying works that blend text and images. Can text itself be an image? Can an abstract painting tell a complex story? This special large-format edition of the Calico Series is brimming with illustrations, memes, swirling mud drawings, and tattered family photographs alongside poems, reportage, and fiction by writers including Verónica Gerber Bicecci (tr. Christina MacSweeney), Marie NDiaye (tr. Victoria Baena), and Yi SangWoo (tr. Emily Yae Won). Focusing on those whose full stories have yet to be told--the black Cuban singer Maria Martinez, a Polish family murdered in the holocaust, workers at a noodle shop in Busan, and the tallest man in recorded history--the authors, artists, and translators in this collection combine their talents to make visible what we could not previously see.
