Redaktionelt
Vi har ikke lært en skid af forrige afsnit, og også dette afsnit er optaget over Zoom. Som et ekstra benspænd ringede en af os ind på mobil fra et sommerhus i det nordjyske, og der kan derfor være enkelte udfald i lyden. Vi har prøvet at udbedre det i redigeringen, og håber ikke, det forstyrrer forståelsen af samtalen.
Denne gang har vi brugt musik af Matt Oakley (The incredible shrinking Larry), Glad Rags (Social kapital (reprise)) og Dee Yan-Key (Finis Comoediae). Alle er tilgængelige fra Free Music Archive under CC-Attribution-licensen.

A week ago I finished reading two more of Kelly Link's short story collections: Magic for Beginners and Pretty Monsters, published in 2006 and 2008. I previously wrote about her first collection, Stranger Things Happen, here:

Stranger Things Happen 1/7:
I finished reading Kelly Link's short story collection 2001 Stranger Things Happen. Freely available from Link's website here: https://kellylink.net/books/stranger-things-happen-old/creative-commons.
Reviews of the stories follow.
Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose - Great story. A surprisingly & depressingly accurate depiction of the male (constantly horny) state of mind, with many small details which come together.

I finally started reading Kelly Link's short story collection Stranger Things Happen. I have been wanting to read it for a very long time.
I just started reading, and then got to the story Flying Lessons (which I knew was in there). I read it, and had to stop, feeling emotional.
This is a story that I remember very well.

Great Cory Doctorow review of the debut of the year: "The Book of Love," first novel by short-form spec fic master Kelly Link @KellyLink.
He says it embodies her "bone-dry witty delivery, used to spin tales of deceptive whimsy and quirkiness, disarming you with daffiness while she sets the hook and YANKS…Turns out that she can quite handily do this for hundreds of pages, and the effect only gets better…"
My copy just arrived. Can't wait to plunge in!

#KellyLink is one of science fiction's most important writers, a master of the short story to rank with the likes of #TedChiang. For a decade, Kelly's friends have traded whispers that she was working on a novel - a *giant* novel - and the rumors were true and the novel is glorious and you will *love it*:

CW: Long thread/2
Yes, there are exceptions. #TedChiang. #KellyLink.
And now, Justin C Key. To be in such company is, as they say, a big fucking deal.
I can't say I'm surprised. Key was my student at the #ClarionWest writing workshop - a year full of standout writers among whom Key was still a standout.
