A publishing imprint
Albertine Code Books (“ACB”) publishes short works of great impact that often link the visual to the written word. An extension of Albertine Code Films, ACB publishes short stories, books of film stills, novellas, personal history and recipes. Often these texts are companions to another Albertine Code project, be it food, film or potential fieldtrips.
Kerstin has a PhD in comparative literature which means she trained to be a professional reader. She founded and shuttered a publishing imprint named after her two grandmothers, Harriet and Leone.
Through Harriet and Leone Kerstin published photography books, a collection of maps of non-existent countries, novels-in-progress and other things. Albertine Code Books streamlines the magpie nature of Kerstin’s reading-obsession by keeping texts short and thought open. She prefers genres that are familiar to vast numbers of people. Hence recipes, short notes, and one-off wonders about the world. She solicits work and finds readers such as you who managed to find her.
Albertine Code is named after Marcel Proust’s irksome offspring, Albertine.
