Nevada Alde

Five things that shaped Nevada Alde
Song: Funkytown, Lipps Inc. (we’d make my mom play this “Shrek 2 song” as we called it whenever we drove anywhere)
Book: Blue Castle, L.M. Montgomery and Paradise Rot, Jenny Hval
Film: James and the Giant Peach, Henry Selick (honestly, all of Tim Burton’s stop-motion films), and specifically Jim Carrey in The Grinch
Trip: Three-week solo trip to Brazil—part of which was spent in a treehouse in a small fisherman’s village by the sea
Advice: pick a day, write it down, and you will get there - an elderly gentleman I met while working at a bookstore
