This extensive, almost archaic title/subtitle (the thoughts go to the elaborate subtitles of early seventeenth- and eighteenth-century novels) also suggests what the reader of these small booklets can expect.18 Text becomes sound in the various translation acts; the reader is tempted (or sometimes almost forced) to read aloud. But also, the visual installations of the texts (where a fragment from the Pietist theologian Cotton Mather can be enlarged into absurdum until only cloudy pixels are visible) challenges the normal relationship between language and materiality. Swedish blogger and literary critic Bernur (Björn Kohlström) identified this as follows:

Writing about writing: this is a performative act, which focuses on the linguistic. Sandström also utilizes the book page, where English and Swedish can run quadruply, but sometimes also left untranslated, or part of an exchange between the untranslatable, where “yet another deviant” becomes “ännu en eljest,” without your reacting to something happening in the translation. It is a creative language game performed here. And, as a result, a linguistic leak occurs. (Bernur 2018)
