THE TRANSLATOR WITHOUT TALENT by Ryan Holmberg

Dr. Ryan Holmberg is one of the busiest men in the world of “Alternative Manga”, working as a translator, scholar, critic, and author. This wonderful volume collects “nearly 400 pages worth of behind-the-scenes peeks into the nitty-gritty of manga research—as well as a never before published manifesto of Dr. Mangaberg’s musings about comics translation—THE TRANSLATOR WITHOUT TALENT is a tell-all slog through two-plus years of activity of your favorite nose-in-the-mud manga scholar. This genre-defying volume spotlights some of the best and weirdest alt-manga and gekiga artists, with extended tangents into the politics of nuclear power and social discrimination in Japan. It is perfect for anyone obsessed with obscure, amazing, and all-too-frequently retrograde manga, but does not have the patience to scroll through a lengthy Instagram feed. Comics studies has never before seen anything like THE TRANSLATOR WITHOUT TALENT, and it may never again.” 400 page, perfect bound softcover, 6″ x 9″, in lustrous black and white throughout.
