A coworker recently pointed out to me that without fail, iPhones will autocorrect “Deep Ellum” into “Deep Vellum.” Now, we’re not saying that this was the impetus for the new Dallas-based translation company’s name. But it could’ve been. After all, it’s not like they’re actually going to publish on “Vellum: 1) fine parchment made originally from the skin of a calf.” Regardless, this week, Deep Vellum Publishing Company officially launches with its debut book, a translation of Mexican author, Carmen Boullosa’s Texas: The Great Theft. At 7 p.m. Wednesday, head to Wild Detectives (314 W. 8th St.) and snag one of the first copies. More info at deepvellum.org.
