difference and identity <\/strong>of multiple kinds – in culture, sex, gender, class, language, body\/mind. Neurodivergence as we know it is a close cousin to what is fittingly termed \u201ccognotype distribution\u201d in a universe of multiple species. This attention to the different ways the mind might work pops up a lot, as does the experience of being Jewish and\/or queer and being perceived as such by others (who might look upon with recognition or judgment, as is the case in \u201cOn Good Friday the Raven Washes Its Young\u201d). <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn \u201cVolatile Patterns\u201d we have a clash of cultures – a couple who are called m\u0101wal\u0113ni in their own language and \u201cwizards\u201d otherwise, investigate the causes of a mysterious riot. It turns out to be both a disturbing and fascinating case of cultural appropriation. The difficulties of intercultural communication are further explored in \u201cThe 1st Interspecies Solidarity Fair and Parade\u201d, where after multiple alien(s) invasions, a call for peace and discussion is made, brought forth by a disabled character and an extraterrestrial sphere – in the fields of future Hungary! I loved reading such a story set in Eastern Europe, and only wish that \u201cinterspecies solidarity\u201d would include non-human animals as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most interesting stories, to me, was \u201cA Technical Term, Like Privilege\u201d, which intersects class, species, status and gender in such an interesting manner that it would prove a striking discussion start for a study group. Within this story-world, house-beasts feed on the blood of their tenants – until one of them rebels, not wishing to give up all of his life-energy just to have a roof above his head. What a metaphor, right? Staring into your face is a scream against the housing crisis, but a beastly sort of scream, with the house and the tenant in unison against the profit-makers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collection ends with short content notices as some difficult themes are touched upon and bonus notes about the author\u2019s inspiration for each story – which I always like reading, ever since I first found them in one of Ted Chiang\u2019s books. I was very excited to be able to read \u201cPower to Yield and Other Stories\u201d before its publication as I was sent a digital copy from the author for an honest review, which is a small price to pay for such a queer wonder of a book! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll like this if: <\/strong>You love short speculative fiction written with attention to difference, identity and power, and are totally into reading what\u2019s written from a queer neurodivergent Jewish perspective. Also if you wonder what it would be like to be a plant. And you hate paying rent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThe Ten Thousand Doors\u201d by Alix E. Harrow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\u201cThe Ten Thousand Doors of January\u201d by Alix E. Harrow is a charming love-letter to stories and to the force of the Written; a sweet, much-too romantic tale of love; a magical coming of age and beyond it all, a critique to colonialism, racism and the civilizational discourse of progress. I fell into this book as the new year opened and barely emerged a few days later, entrapped by Harrow\u2019s flowing writing style and her universe of doors to anywhere – which I love, love, love, and am mildly disappointed it was not explored to its full length, maybe even in a sequel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cIf you are wondering why other worlds seem so brimful of magic compared to your own dreary Earth, consider how magical this world seems from another perspective. To a world of sea people, your ability to breathe air is stunning; to a world of spear-throwers, your machines are demons harnessed to work tirelessly in your service; to a world of glaciers and clouds, summer itself is a miracle.\u201d \/141<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The book follows January Scaller, a young \u201cin-between\u201d girl protected by a wealthy Mr. Locke, with no mother and an always absent father. Throughout the novel, she discovers the truth about her father\u2019s journeys, her parents\u2019 love story and her true origin, aided by her dog Bad, her childhood friend Samuel and mysterious, resourceful Jane. While in the beginning she tries to be a \u201cgood girl\u201d and almost copies Mr. Locke\u2019s beliefs on the nature of progress as her own, throughout the book she learns what it (truly) means to be marginalized, poor, and most of all, colored, in a patriarchal, white supremacist society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cI should have known: destiny is a pretty story we tell ourselves. Lurking beneath it there are only people, and the terrible choices we make.\u201d \/246<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
This book is smack in the middle of being a magical fantasy coming-of-age, an instant (unbelievable yet incredibly sweet, cis hetero) love story and a rebuttal to powerful white men ordering and bending the world to their will. The Doors to the endless many words bring change, we are told, and this change, while it might not always be good, at least it\u2019s always troublesome for those who wish to form the world after their image and desire entirely, pushing others to the brink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cI wonder sometimes how much evil is permitted to run unchecked simply because it would be rude to interrupt it.\u201d \/346<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Ultimately, it is, profoundly, a book about and against racism, understood not only as a prejudice\/discrimination, but as a colonial way of ordering the world. Coming from a white author, I was\/am a bit unsure what to make of it (most of the main characters are of color), yet I am reminded racism IS a white-people problem, and writing with that in mind is what we should all consider doing. Moreover, the story deals with the interlocking of race\/gender\/class\/madness as we are shown that January can be easily incarcerated in an asylum if her wealthy guardian deems appropriate. Its setting in the early 1900s USA is appropriate to mark a time in which there was little freedom for girls of color and in which revolutions seemed to be in the past, a time in which racial segregation sweeps deeply into daily life and in which proximity to whiteness is privilege, but not entirely (in the case of Samuel, who is Italian). I also liked the book-within-the-book scheme with its scholarly annotations because I am a nerd, of course (like this: \u201cYule wondered if all scholars dedicated their lives to questions that other people had already casually answered, and if they found it vexing or pleasing.\u201d \/179)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if we are to look at some of its flaws, yes, the protagonist often makes silly mistakes so the plot moves, she is often \u201cmuch too special\u201d like in any YA trope, everyone kind of loves her, the dog is a perennial ward with no real desires of his own (and gets hurt a lot), and the pacing is unequal at times (slow in the beginning, too fast in the end). But I kind of really loved the book, with its magical deep-dive into a world-not-unlike-our-own, its belief in the power of the written word to stand up to patriarchal power and its beautiful prose-writing style. And Doors to other worlds! What else can you wish for, really?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll like this if: <\/strong>You love portals, coming-of-age stories & criticizing colonialism. You\u2019re into writing that is beautiful, flowy, bookish. And to really enjoy it, you should have a high tolerance for teen protagonists who do silly things & instant (cishetero) romance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cOikoslogia – o nara\u021biune teoretic-speculativ\u0103\u201d by Maia \u0218erb\u0103nescu <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA strange hybrid of theory and speculative fiction, \u201cOikoslogia\u201d by Maia \u0218erb\u0103nescu imagines a socialist, feminist, queer text-world in which there is no longer an \u201doutside\u201d. The book begins with an introduction by Iulia Militaru, who explains that Maia \u0218erb\u0103nescu is a project where she tries to \u201cdemonstrate the capacity of alternative worlds to develop critical thinking\u201d. The introduction thoroughly places the text in a political space dedicated to community and regeneration, beyond capitalism, speciesism or racism. And then – one finds themselves in a swirl of voices and images, an alien world of the habitants, transformed humans and non-humans living together in a connected colony in which time\/space bends without direction. Plastic and hunger remain of the past world, but the only \u201cthing\u201d to be eaten are earthworms – no other being is consumed. The narrative follows one habitant, Maia, but then switches perspective: one finds themselves away from the text in a theoretical exploration, then back in, sometimes in first person, sometimes in third person, sometimes following another character altogether. Or is it another character? The passage from one type of text to the other, from one voice to the other, marks the queer, uncategorizable aspect of this book, which breaches literary genres with intent, knowing the damage it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talking alongside writers and cited theorists such as Karen Barad, Ocean Vuong, Jeanette Winterson, Laura Sandu, Sofia Smidovici, Lizzie O\u2019Shea, Alison Kafer and Jos\u00e9 Esteban Mu\u00f1oz, \u201cOikoslogia\u201d becomes a feminist breach into the literary world, sustaining that literature most not be a tool for domination, but for inspiration – it should nurture the resistance of the oppressed rather than quiet it. You can only read it in Romanian, for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll like this if: <\/strong>You like your mind-thoughts to bend & fracture into an ungovernable alien world in which socialist-queer-feminist theory seeps in like a fog, marking everything with its mysterious touch. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Because I love lists & speculative fiction & remembering what I thought about what I read, I\u2019m making this one – it has no order except kind-of-a-chronological order?
