I am happy to share that the je lis trop newsletter now has its first physical edition, a magazine!
This magazine is a three-year archive of issues released through 2020-2023, each issue focused on a specific theme and featuring at least three book recommendations along with accompanying visuals. It documents the literary project’s evolution as it migrated across different platforms, from the first issues released on Mailchimp to my own coded website and eventually Substack.
