In this issue we explore ideas of art, memory, loss, and home, with translations from Spanish, Dutch, and Yoruba. Fiction Bacterial (English Translation)Translated by: By: Marcelo Cohen Translated by: Kit Maude At the beginning of the film, we are presented with the face and head of a man crowned with synthetic-looking gray hair and a twitchy left eyebrow.

Fiction Bacterial By: Marcelo Cohen En el comienzo de este filme acaparan la atención la cara y la cabeza de un hombre, con una cúpula de canas que parecen de nailon y la ceja izquierda un poco tensa; en los ojos evocadores, la boca próspera y hasta en la papada hay una oscilación constitutiva entre eficiencia práctica y tendencia al lamento, un capital de satisfacciones que una tristeza escéptica merma, aunque no lo agota.
