Reviews

Terra Nullius – Claire G. Coleman

by

It should come as no surprise that Coleman, an Australian Aboriginal author of the South Coast Noongar people, is particularly poised to enliven the tropes of the science fiction contact genre.

Acts of Infidelity – Lena Andersson

by

If the two books are so similar, why did I love WILLFUL DISREGARD so much and find ACTS OF INFIDELITY exasperating?

Je Nathanaël – Nathanaël

by

In Je, Nathanaël, the speaking subject, or more properly, speech, is not a question of absolute being but partial positions and orientations.

Crimson – Niviaq Korneliussen

by

CRIMSON is a piece of literature that aims to make sense of queer experience by constructing a literary world adequate to house its complexities.

Fox – Dubravka Ugrešić

by

The moment I looked at the frightened animal in the corner of a dirty cage, I knew that writers and storytellers were dangerous manipulators.

Love in the New Millennium – Can Xue

by

Without narrative restraint (like both love and time?).

Passing Away – Tom LeClair

by

[PASSING AWAY] may most adeptly assimilate the influence of those adventurous writers whose work Tom LeClair the critic has so usefully illuminated.

Breathing: Chaos and Poetry – Franco “Bifo” Berardi

by

There’s a great deal of chaos, very little breathing or poetry.

Malva – Hagar Peeters

by

The heroine of MALVA is a fictional creation, and as a typical daughter, she is only too prepared to justify her father’s behavior.
