On the subject of our other fund drive review, here's a thread-within-a-thread. Less a traditional review than a sort of thinking-with and -alongside and -after. Does it work? Honestly, I'm too close to it to tell now, but I'm excited by what it attempts.https://twitter.com/SamiraNadkarni/status/1150485796182302721?s=19 …

What's better than one person saying insightful things about a book? Multiple people saying insightful things about a book! We brought back the SH book club with this fantastic group of readers, and it was great: http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/the-strange-horizons-book-club-kingdoms-of-elfin-by-sylvia-townsend-warner/ … (More book club discussions are planned!)

Community and care and how we read and write about them feel particularly vital at the moment, and are why I loved this review by Marie Stern-Peltz of Sam J Miller's Blackfish City.http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/reviews/blackfish-city-by-sam-j-miller/ …

Did you know
@strangehorizons has a sister magazine, Samovar, for SF in translation? Samovar's focus is fiction and poetry but I love that it also gives us things like this interview with Chen Qiufan, by Chiara Cigarini: http://samovar.strangehorizons.com/2019/04/02/writing-about-and-with-a-black-box-an-interview-with-chen-qiufan/ …1 reply 7 retweets 12 likesShow this thread -
There's also a link there to an Italian translation by Francesco Verso. Anglophone readers (I'm including myself) often fall into thinking of translation as a everything-to-English process; having access to conversations outside that dynamic feels like a real privilege.

I love this
@danhartland review of Freshwater, a book that I also felt nourished by. http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/reviews/freshwater-by-akwaeke-emezi/ …pic.twitter.com/aPzuH7XA2q

This review by
@KejeraL of The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya was so much fun to edit, and just generally insightful and smart.http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/reviews/the-carpet-merchant-of-konstantiniyya-by-reimena-yee/ …1 reply 5 retweets 9 likesShow this thread -
A final argument: John Clute! I said that I'm proud that we maintain space for (challenging, ambitious) nonfiction; getting to publish Clute is a privilege. Also the opening of this most recent piece made me cackle like a drunk goose. http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/columns/scores-48/ …

John Clute is a global treasure. All honor for running his essays.
