• April 2018

Iliustratorius Christoph Niemann teigia, kad gerai suprantame vaizdų kalbą, to net nesuvokdami. Žaismingoje kalboje, kupinoje sąmojingų, keistų piešinių, Niemann linksmai papasakos apie tai, kaip menininkai be žodžių paliečia mūsų emocijas ir mąstymą.

On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

I can't stomach horror books (let alone movies). So I had never read anything by Stephen King when I first picked up this book. It might be the most insightful, witty, serious, funny and instructive book on the craft of writing — or rather, storytelling in general.

Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration

Pixar is one of the few places that is able to balance rigorous creative exploration with a sustainable structure. I work on a much smaller scale, but it's stunning how many of the challenges of such a large production company actually apply to an artistic one-man show.

"Fences: A Brexit Diary"

Reading about politics in the last two years has been... trying. First, there's all the terrible news, but on top of everything else, the Twitter algorithm seems to make us all more shrill, more addicted to the cheap applause from the like-minded. Reading this essay by Zadie Smith was a rare revelation. She is a lucid observer and an incredible writer (probably much better than I can even assess). But what moved me most was that she seems to be looking for answers without vanity, but with doubt, humor and a unique ability for empathy.

My favorite website doesn't exist anymore...

It was a collaboration between Google and the Russian Railway. A video tour of the Siberian Railway — all 5,752 miles of it. I've been obsessed with that train route since I was a child, and finally I was able to see what it looks like to travel through the endless Siberian Taiga or arrive at the (very drab) train station of Vladiwostok. You were even able to pick from different sound tracks: Ballaleika Music, rumble of train tracks or War and Peace read in Russian. If somebody at Google or the Russian Railway reads this: please bring back that site!
