Delos 175 Editorial published Blitz with Beto confused among his boxes on the cover; the lovely Other Press jacket shows an hourglass against a black background, flecks of gold floating away.

The collection is wide-ranging both in terms of the geographies represented by the contributors (Japan, China, South Africa, Poland, Italy, and the United States), their expertise (Film Studies, New Media, Linguistics, Cultural Studies, and Translation Studies), and the topics covered.
