pickRecommended to me from a book group member, and now I need to tell them how deeply this book gutted me. I hadn‘t really understood what was happening in Syria, and now I have a story that really puts so much of it into perspective. Fantastic and difficult and oh so necessary.
pick“Maybe this is what barbarians look like. (They look like everybody else.) That being said, one person‘s “barbarian” is another person‘s “just doing what everybody else is doing.” (How many can be expected to do better than that?)
pickI have never read the book, but I know it‘s banned. I checked out this graphic novel version to see what it was all about—the story is a bit confusing to me, but there are themes of time travel, sci-fi, and trauma stemming from Camp Dresden in WW2. Interesting read, but the alien thing threw me off.
so-soThis latest novel from Premee Mohamed just won the Aurora award for best Canadian sci-fi/fantasy novel. It's an interesting exploration of war, violence and pacifism, but I found it quite slow going.

Very bleak, they survived a nuclear attack for a while...

If Kara was hot up here, it must‘ve been hell down in the packed square. All of Nau Fruma was on a labor strike, and from her vantage point, the protesters looked like a single living organism—angry, undulating.
