8 December 1980. With this issue, Thesis Eleven is 40 years old. Who would have thunk? The day John Lennon was murdered, we picked up the boxes in Julian Triado’s Renault 12, news on the radio, axles groaning, us, I suppose, otherwise elated, but also in shock. What were these new times?

四十年前的今天–论文十一，收藏夹

1980年12月8日。本期论文11岁，享年40岁。谁会重击？约翰·列侬（John Lennon）被谋杀的那天，我们在朱利安·特里亚多（Julian Triado）的雷诺12（Renault 12）上捡起箱子，广播里的消息，车轴吟，我想我们应该兴高采烈，但也感到震惊。这些新时代是什么？
