today’s special - 2022





today’s special / 2022 / risography / 72 pages / written with Christina Svenson
printed and published by Perfectly Acceptable (Chicago, USA)
           

a relationship journey through the scope of food - courting through an elaborate association of ingredients or a knowledgable restaurant choice, navigating through the looming physical pain while keeping a smiley face, tearing bread then braiding tears, learning to cook for one again. 

Today’s Special is written with poetess Christina Svenson, whose poems were put in sequence by Melek Zertal.

You can buy it here. 
It’s currently sold out, but a second edition + french translation is on the way.
