Welcome to Litsy!

I reviewed an #ARC of this book a couple of months ago. Now it's here and it's really beautiful! Indispensable guide for anyone interested in speculative literature in translation!

Before October is over, here is my round-up for September #BookReport.
I wasn't expecting to like The Slynx given that it's Russian future, post-nuclear dystopian science fiction (or possibly a dark fable). But it had some really good things to say and it was dark but with with and humor.
Plus it's a book out of Out of this World, which is a guide to speculative fiction in translation. This book is going to do serious damage to my #TBR.

Thank you to the author for an advance copy of this book. Out of This World is going to be a must-have title for anyone interested in speculative fiction and/or world literature. The book is organized by language (as it should be for discussion about writers) and covers the countries where that language is spoken. The author covers many languages that you don‘t often hear about or connect to speculative fiction such as Hebrew, Czech, and Arabic.

The early twenty-first century has witnessed an explosion of speculative fiction in English translation (SFT). Whether these texts come to us as novels, collections, anthologies, or stand-alone stories published in online and print magazines, they both demonstrate and contribute to the ongoing process of globalization.
