19 for the book meme!

19. 5 book recs

Memoirs of a Polar Bear by Yoko Tawada. 2016, historical fantasy. The tale of three polar bears (a grandmother, a mother, and a son) who are skilled writers and performers in Germany, the third of whom is the famous Knut of the Berlin Zoo.

How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone by Saša Stanišić. 2006, historical fiction/magical realism. A novel with autobiographical elements about a young boy whose family flees Bosnia for Germany during the Bosnian War and his attempts to make sense of it all.

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. 1959, post-apocalyptic science fiction. Centuries in the future in the aftermath of a 20th-century nuclear war that devastated the planet, an order of monks is dedicated to preserving the pre-apocalyptic scientific knowledge that has since been suppressed by the rest of society.

Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah. 2018, short story collection. Mostly speculative fiction & often dealing with themes of racism, capitalism, and violence. My personal favorite stories: "Zimmer Land," "Friday Black," "How to Sell a Jacket as Told by IceKing," and "Through the Flash."

The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa. 2012, magical realism. A cat and his human go on a journey to find the cat a new home for reasons the cat doesn't understand. Narrated by the cat.

Her father looked at her with a kind of proud puzzlement. “And you think that’s worth it, do you?” “Yes, Dad!” “Then I am proud of you, jiggit; you are doing a man’s job!” He’d used the pet name only the family knew, and so she kissed him politely and did not tell him that he was unlikely to see a man doing the job that she did.

…you know, I can understand very well why this man didn’t like TERFs, but when I see phrasing like this I feel like I also can understand why TERFs might have assumed he did.

Why SHOULDN’T a man look at Granny Aching and decide he wants a folk nursing job, a broomstick that flies or at least that hovers, and a pointy hat, though, Miss Aching?

I realize this is a really broad ask, but I'm in the mood to read more romance-y books and that's something I don't usually look for (my genre choices go for things labeled sci-fi/fantasy/spy thriller/historical drama before it gets called romance even if that's also a thing in the book) so do people (@jiggit or @tender-perennial ?) have recs I can use as a starting place?

@jiggit i looked up that section of the 九辩 in my translated copy of the Chuci, here's Gopal Sukhu's translation:

Alone in the boundless wilds, with no way out of sorrow, lives a beautiful woman whose heart was not glad to leave her family in a distant land to come here, a stranger, and now, a vagabond, where will she go? She longs for you only, Lord. You cannot change her. If this you refuse to know, what can she do? Her resentment builds, Her longing deepens— Her heart so vexed by dread, she neglects her food. I desire but one meeting to speak this thing on my mind, but they are so at odds, my heart and yours, that when I left in the carriage you readied, only to return, you would not see me. It cut me inside, as I leaned on the carriage wall, and sighed through its lattice window, and so many tears crossed down my face, they wet the carriage rail. I rage that I cannot stop it. I am delirious, lost! How do I end this hidden misery? My frenzied heart pounds, but always for you.

#cumplane elevates scum villain above the average isekai because it is a commentary on author-reader relationships #and its existence hence casts a metanarrative eye on every aspect of the text #and it's funny as shit #in 'fixing' the narrative sqq not only adjusts canon for coherence and emotional pacing but also brings the creator-fan experience #from a place of toxicity to an intertwined collaboration #above all scum villain is a paean to the editorial process #but also a fictionalised rendering of the basis of reader response theory (via @jiggit)

I think, on some level, that Shen Yuan is like enrichment for Airplane Bro's enclosure. I think Airplane Bro kind of fucking LOVES having this guy around. Like, I do think their relationship is nuanced, weird and full of contradictions and not always good for them, but I also think that some chaotic part of Shang Qinghua honestly likes having his #1 hater weirdo running around completely fucking up his world.

Shen Qingqiu, grabbing Shang Qinghua by the shoulders: "Why didn't anyone TELL ME that Binghe is GAY NOW?! I'm going to die because of MONSTER DICK?!?!?!"

Shang Qinghua: (internally, probably only half-consciously) "Incredible. Amazing. How did I live without you? You torture me with your bullshit. You complete me in every possible way. I think we might be soulmates and we should make out about it. I hate you. I love you. You mean nothing to me and everything to me. This isn't your story and you stole it from me. I wrote this for you without even knowing you existed. You are a fascinating mystery that I will never solve. I will throw you under the bus at the first opportunity and yet I can't stop risking my life to help you. Your stupid game of gay murder chicken with my emotionally and mentally unstable protagonist is going to destroy the world and kill us all and I've never felt more alive. You have changed me as a person. Let's do this forever."

Shang Qinghua: (out loud) "Lol, sucks to be you, bro. At least you can get laid."
