RT @TheTLS: 'The Philosophy of Translation begins with an anecdote.' Anna Aslanyan on the art and craft of translation https://t.co/NYemS…

‘I locked my bike outside Euston Tower before going to see “20,000” by Cameron Griffin, an installation whose title refers to the average number of bikes reported stolen in London every year.’ Anna Aslanyan on cycling in London, from the blog: https://t.co/PqoiaKs6ua

'This year' means 2024. In the first week of 2025, London has been good to cyclists. Long may it continue!

‘Losing your bike in London is not the end of the world; having a cycling accident can be. While the number of road fatalities in the city has been decreasing, individual deaths – six cyclists this year – cannot be subsumed in statistics.’ Anna Aslanyan: https://t.co/PqoiaKryEC
