The agent kindly let me know who bought the rights, and I followed up with a couple of emails until finally they asked me to be the translator. In the past, I have had bad luck being asked to translate a book after doing a sample. In fact, woeful luck. I think this is the first time it ever worked out for me.
Louise: I have learned never to expect to be asked to do a translation after doing the sample. I do my best to follow up on contacts with publishers, if I can find out who buys the rights. I have had my heart broken many times, but I was persistent with this title and it eventually paid off.
Louise: I most wanted to convey the visuals that are so important in the original. My goal was to have the reader caught up in the quests as if they were there themselves. Whirling paper, booming music, falling books, the visuals were essential to capture. (I hope I was successful.)
Andrew: The theme of hikikomori stays quietly in the background, so I certainly appreciated your note at the end of the book. Back to the story, Rintaro and his love for books and knowledge of their stories helps him debunk fundamental flaws in their reasoning, changing their relationships with books. As I read, I could not help but think of my own relationship with books. Am I done with a story after reading it once? Do I have the time and energy to read an entire book again? And what of those bestseller rankings and the talk of money and books?
Louise: I was hired by the UK publisher but the US publisher was in a hurry to get their edition out before Christmas 2021 so their editor joined in when we were in the editing process. At first I was nervous that there might be too many conflicting ideas, but in the end it was great to have the double input.
I spent hours working on a book that I know I saved somehow, somewhere, but I am not sure how to look for it. It's not in my collections panel. The idea was that I was moving it to Dropbox so that I could work on it when I was taking a trip on my laptop. However, I'm not sure if I save it correctly, and if I did, what the extension on the file would be. I'm spinnng my wheels here and really hate to have to start over. Any suggestions what I shoudl be looking for? Thanks,
Lynne
The tab in the Book module- [Create Saved Book] creates a specialized COLLECTION in the Collection panel of the LR library. It (the 'Saved Book') is only stored within the Catalog. It does not create a separate working file.
To resume editing/designing a "Saved Book Collection" you [Double-Click] on the name of the book in the Collection panel (Or [Click] the small arrow that appears with cursor hover). Saved Book Collections have the icon that looks like an open book.
It's been several months since I did this, which is why I'm not 100% sure what I did. However, I did export it as a catalog, and I specifically remember saving the book. That is why my original question was how to search for it. I know for example that a LR backup has extension"lrcat" and that helps me search for it. What extension does a saved book have? I'm fully aware that my system was flawed in terms of moving things between computers in my attempt to export the book catalog to Dropbox to be able to open it on my laptop computer. When I tried, the photos were there, but not the book. Thanks,
Lynne
If your current working catalog does not have the Book Collection you are looking for (are you sure?) then you would need to find a backup catalog that does. This would mean extracting the .LRCAT files from backup ZIP files and opening each one in turn.
In the Catalog you "Exported"-(Thinking it was a book) it had to have a "Saved Book COLLECTION" to recover the book design. Without clicking that tab to create a saved book in the Collection panel- there is no book saved anywhere.
The third man treats books as product and profit center, only publishing books that will sell: popular topics, in easy-to-digest styles. And he publishes reams and reams of such books, pumping them out as fast as he can, seeming to care not a bit about whether they add value to the world.
This is all specifically about books, and references to great classics of literature (mostly Western, surprisingly 1) abound. But I think the observations that Natsukawa offers his readers are ones that apply equally well to art and to information in general. Or even, just to life.

It is often said that books save lives. Most of the time, however heartfelt the sentiment, it is figurative. Every once in an improbable while, it approximates the literal. But only on the rarest of occasions, in the most extreme of circumstances, do books become lifelines in the realest sense.
To celebrate the publication of the book, which Helen sees as an invaluable part of her legacy, I asked her to read her letter for the New York Public Library launch event. She was 97 at the time she wrote her letter and is approaching her 101st birthday as she reads it:

My Review
I received a free, digital, advanced reading copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The publisher indicated that this e-proof was made from digital files of the uncorrected proofs and reminded readers that changes may be made prior to publication. My review is my own and reflects my honest opinion about this book.

In an era of mass migration in which more than 100 million people are displaced comes this lyrical portrait of Syrian and Iraqi refugees and the belongings they carry. What We Remember Will Be Saved is a book of hope, home, and the stories we hold within us when everything else has been lost.
Journalist and scholar Stephanie Saldaa, who lived in Syria before the war, sets out on a journey across nine countries to meet refugees and learn what they salvaged from the ruins when they escaped. Now, in the narratives of six extraordinary women and men, from Mt. Sinjar to Aleppo to Lesvos to Amsterdam, we discover that the little things matter a great deal. Saldaa introduces us to a woman who saved her city in a dress, a musician who saved his stories in songs, and a couple who rebuilt their destroyed pharmacy even as the city around them fell apart. Together they provide a window into a religiously diverse corner of the Middle East on the edge of unraveling, and the people keeping it alive with their stories.
Born of years of friendship and reporting, What We Remember Will Be Saved is a breathtaking, elegiac odyssey into the heart of the largest refugee crisis in modern history. It reminds us that refugees are storytellers and speakers of vanishing languages, and of how much history can be distilled into a piece of fabric, or eggplant seeds. What we salvage tells our story. What we remember will be saved.
"Stephanie Saldaa long ago proved herself a poetic and perceptive essayist. In this book, she also proves herself a courageous one. Following refugees into the darkest and most dangerous spaces of recent history, she documents journeys that are about much more than bare survival, at once wrenching and radiant."
"This outstanding book from essayist and author Saldana puts names and faces on several emigrants from Iraq and Syria, emphasizing their distinctiveness....Readers won't soon forget the compelling stories of these brave individuals, revealed so poignantly by Saldana's beautiful writing."
"Throughout this compassionate book, the author demonstrates the resilience of refugees, who carry with them their precious languages, cultures, and memories. Memorable personal stories that give much-needed depth and humanity to what are otherwise merely numbers."
"Saldaa's narrative exudes empathy and offers hope, showing how 'a lost neighborhood can be salvaged in a song and that an entire city can be carried in a dress.' It's a worthy testament to the resilience of refugees."

I was just reading through Egwene's dream section of CoT, and i had forgot that she had a dream that she would be saved by a seachan woman. Right after she has this dream she has the dream of the tower being attacked by the seachan. When she wakes she says she knows what the two dreams mean, and the tower being attacked already came true. Any thoughts on how she will be saved and by whom?
