Speculative Fiction in Translation #16: Looking Back on the Summer’s SFT

Rachel and Daniel return this month with a wide-ranging
conversation about the SFT they’ve been reading/hearing
about/wanting to read from the summer. While Rachel was reading Liu
Cixin’s Supernova Era (tr. by Joel Martinsen), The Aayakudi Murders
by Indra Soundar Rajan (tr. Nirmal Rajagopalan), and The Dreamed
Part by Rodrigo Fresan (tr. Will Vanderhyden), Daniel was finishing
Laurence Suhner’s Vestiges in the original French, starting Jean
Ray’s Whiskey Tales (tr. Scott Nicolay), and reading Francesco
Verso’s Nexhuman (tr. Sally McCorry). Then they talk about some of
their favorite short fiction from the summer, what they’re looking
forward to in the fall, and the very sad closing of Haikasoru,
Rachel’s favorite SFT imprint. 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! Show
