I have a continuing interest in how stories, myths and legends persist and find new ways to become relevant to us. How these stories are written, designed, mediated, packaged, and consumed gives us the barometer from which we deduce the direction and health of our artistic culture. Amidst the eddy’s and currents that move our society, somehow these stories are still relevant and important in ways we might not have imagined before.

Matt Nashlenas is Special Sales Associate at Raincoast Books. He tried to cobble memories of his life together so as to define himself for this bio but got distracted by lunch. Now, after a satisfying meal of lentil curry, homemade Philipine-style spring-rolls, and home-made almond roca he has eaten too much (again), and is thinking about drifting over to the cake-couch for a cat-nap, if for only a moment, to reflect on the ways in which food compliments and complicates the act of remembering.
