[New production] Downstream, by Sigfrid Siwertz

[Robin Whittleton]

Sorry, forgot to announce this. I’m in the proofing stages so far.

The cover art I’d like to use is actually a watercolour, but so skilfully done that you’d be hard-pressed to not think it an oil. It’s Zorn’s ”Sommarnöje” (tr. “summer enjoyment”). PD proof: https://hdl.handle.net/2027/wu.89054773486?urlappend=%3Bseq=97%3Bownerid=13510798886661078-101

[Alex Cabal]

Very nice find. Shocking that it's a watercolor!

If you’re ever in Sweden I recommend a trip to the Zorn Museum in Mora. This painting is fairly unusual for him as the woman has some clothes on.

[François Grandjean]

You have a knack for finding striking pictures.

[Robin Whittleton]

And we’re done. Repo: https://github.com/robinwhittleton/sigfrid-siwertz_downstream_macmillan-of-canada . Production notes:

• Couldn’t find a specific translator, so Macmillan of Canada gets the credit.
• Unusually good PG transcription, I couldn’t find a single mistake. But it is a recent one (nov 2019).
• Simple structure, just a couple of parts and no intro or endnotes.
• The usual smattering of letters, ship names and languages. There are a couple of blockquotes describing signs and requiring custom styling. Also the first time I’ve had to use xml:lang=“non” for Old Norse.
• I made a few editorial changes beyond the usual, so please review. Biggest was changing ”praying cricket” to “praying mantis” (obvious from context, but I’ve never heard the first version before.)

I quite enjoyed this one, but I have to say that at times it felt a bit like the author was trying to write the metaphor more than the character. A worthy addition to the corpus though.

On the subject of “praying cricket”, ngram has a very small bump right around when this book was published, then it drops back to nothing again: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=praying+mantis%2Cpraying+cricket&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=26&smoothing=3#

[Alex Cabal]

Vince, do you have time to review this?

I think we should leave 'praying cricket' as it is. It's not a spelling
change, that's a totally different word.

Sure.

[Vince]

Excellent job as usual, Robin. I logged a couple of very minor questions.

[Robin Whittleton]

Thanks for the review! I’ve addressed all the points you mentioned (including the `se`/`sv` mixup 🤦‍♂️).

In the long description, what does it mean when you say "the Selambs
family nature can’t help but out."?

Good point, that kind of relies on you having read the book to discover. I’ve updated the description in https://github.com/robinwhittleton/sigfrid-siwertz_downstream_macmillan-of-canada/commit/b4712c76c0d0ca1ceb22641231e64e299db0ee74.

OK great, I've gone ahead and released it. Thanks!

I changed the flex CSS so that we achieve the desired appearance of that
blockquote, but without extra <span>s. This also removes an ignore rule.
