This month’s episode is packed with info about the SFT from Algeria, Japan, Serbia, Italy, Brazil, Portugal, Russia, and China. It’s a vibrant mix of new books in a series, anthologies, novels, and stories, which I know you’ll enjoy. Plus, you can check out reviews of these and other stories around the internet. I also tell you about my current reading and translation work (starting a new project translating one of my favorite authors, Clelia Farris!).
With new stories and books coming to our attention each week, make sure to check the SFT website for updates. Enjoy, and keep reading!
A bientôt!
