Second to last day of our "You Can't Own The River" sale. As art, literacy and multiculturalism become targets of state oppression, it's critical we stay connected to each other, to other cultures & other ways of looking at the world.

Another "weird fiction" #BookMail ordered from @eveninghouse.bsky.social -- I wouldn't have known of this work without their curated site.

The Last Canterbury Tales

Translated by Scott Nicolay

Shiny, mostly black, cover of a cobblestone (?) road with maybe church windows belonging to the building at the back, a woman likely on a pilgrimage approaches, the scene is duplicated. 
Because it's shiny, a lamp and hands holding a phone taking this picture are reflected in it.

Also worth noting: this new website has a lot of features that only come to life on desktop (for now, at least) Mobile version is also sweet, but the desktop version has a filtering column to narrow down your searches. Can help when trying to find something to scratch specific itches
