The latest issue of the KIT Newsletter has just been published and is available at https://kit.hdfs.ntnu.edu.tw/CN/Newsletter_content.aspx?es=43. In this edition, one of the featured articles is a guide to La tête ailleurs, a storybook written by André Bouchard and illustrated by Quentin Blake. It tells the fantastical story of a father who, after losing his head, becomes incredibly easygoing and obedient, doing whatever he's asked without overthinking things.
