Took a break from Solenoid last night/today and read @babaklak.bsky.social’s Floating Notes which was great.

The cover for “Floating Notes” by Babak Lakghomi which features overlapping dark and light blue triangular shapes resembling mountains or waves.

Forgive me for being late to and so continuing this trend. I really love these people, though (as well as many more of you whom it won't let me add)! go.bsky.app/E1svDV8

This is an interview with Marie Redonnet that appears at the end of this edition of Forever Valley (translated by Jordan Stump/UNP edition). In particular I’m drawn to: “…a poetic power make visible that which has been neither described nor expressed by metaphor, but rather only evoked.”

Never intro'd self or announced my novel before, so why not. Novelist, book reviewer. Wrote a Taiwanese folk-horror novel, The Hell Screens. Second novel Daydreamers (see below) comes out July 2025 from Fiction Collective 2. There is a 25-year gap betweeen the two, which must be some kind of record.

“A compliment to the harrowing freedom of language, its ability to imperil and empower, imprison, and emancipate…South highlights the danger and necessity of finding our voice, before it’s too late.” Thanks to Simon Lowe and PRISM International! prismmagazine.ca/2023/09/29/t...

I've been anticipating @babakl.bsky.social Lakghomi's SOUTH out from Dundurn Press for MONTHS. I'm grateful to finally have my hands on a copy the week of its release here in the US.

My last stop for SOUTH will be on Oct 5th @mcnallyjackson in NYC where I’ll be in conversation with Jordan Castro, the author of THE NOVELIST. Super excited for this one and it’d be lovely to see you if you can make it to this! RSVP below: mcnallyjackson.com/event/babak-la…
