I'd also like to remind listserv members of Asymptote's new translation
contest, which will be judged by Eliot Weinberger and Howard Goldblatt.
The deadline is September 1st, so there is plenty of time to prepare and
submit a translation if you have not done so already. Full contest rules
can be found here <http://www.asymptotejournal.com/contest.php>, but
listserv members should feel free to contact me if they have any questions
about the contest.

Thank you all in advance for reading!

Sincerely,
Dylan Suher
