Speculative Fiction in Translation #17: Science Fiction and Fairy Tales
Manage episode 246324622 series 2165090
This month, Rachel and Daniel talk about the SFiT that came out in September and what they’re reading now. As Daniel points out, several of the short stories they discuss have some kind of fairy-tale element to them, leading the co-hosts to think about the interesting connections between that genre and science fiction. And while September’s short SFiT was dominated by stories from Korea and China, the novels, collections, and anthologies came from Japan, Israel, and Germany. Rachel talks about how Japanese SF media is taking over her house (books, Pokemon cards, manga, etc.), and Daniel shares his love of Francesco Verso’s novel Nexhuman, which Daniel reviewed on his site.
Remember: with new stories and books coming to their attention each week, make sure to check the SFT website for updates. Enjoy, and keep reading!
A bientôt!
