Subject: Writing Beyond Writing Book Discussion Club


Calling linguists and lovers of language and writing, especially those
of you in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia and New
Zealand/Aotearoa!
Just a few days left to sign up for the Eastern Hemisphere edition of
the Writing Beyond Writing Book Club, which kicks off on Sunday, March
3.
The Western Hemisphere edition kicked off a week and a half ago with a
"fascinating" and "inspiring" discussion that ranged through
embroidered poetry; fonts based on one’s own handwriting; low-energy
and high-energy writing systems; Hungarian runic script redesigned as
Netflix logos; the burning of books to establish a script to unify an
empire; Latin manuscripts containing paintings, poems and puzzles;
decrypting Stonehenge; and Mesoamerican codices that repeated the
names of gods so the universe would not come to an end.
It was a blast, and I can pretty much guarantee that the Eastern
Hemisphere group will cover an entirely different but equally
fascinating range of topics.
