Recent Short Fiction Recs
Jul. 6th, 2015 01:24 pmWell, I feel like I haven't got further behind on my short fiction reading over the last month or so. That feels almost like progress. Here are a couple of things that I read that recommend:
"Forestspirit, Forestspirit" by Bogi Takács Lovely descriptions of forest, cool agender post-human protagonist.
"Let's have a talk" by Xia Jia Xia Jia's first story written in English it is of course about linguists. Also very cute.
Also I've been reading the Queers Destroy Science Fiction special issue of Lightspeed Magazine (June 2015). I don't like it quite as much as last years' Women Destroy Science Fiction, but it is pretty great with lots of short fiction and interesting essays. Of the the work that is available online I'd like to recommend two shorts:
"勢孤取和 (Influence Isolated, Make Peace") by John Chu
"Madeleine" by Amal El-Mohtar
