Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing: The Mushroom at the End of the World (2015) 4 stars

What a rare mushroom can teach us about sustaining life on a fragile planet

Matsutake …

I love this one, I read it in Paris (so romantic)

As much as it is about mushrooms, it is about trees, people, and systems (mostly capitlaism). And beyond thinking about what lives in the ruins of destruction, and in disturbed spaces, this books has been making me think about social translation or work as a form of translation, and about what it means to salvage.
