I've finished: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Shabon
I didn't grow up with comics and don't have any nostalgia for them.
I do have an interest in history, culture, art and speculative fiction.
I'm also Jewish and Kavalier & Clay spoke to me on so many levels.
It is the story of Jewish refugees behind the golden age of comic books, about their experiences and motivations. It is the story of the comic book as an art form and cultural phenomena.
It is not speculative fiction, but it contains descriptions of the comics the characters create, as part of their journey and emotional development. Breaking the fourth wall Chabon gives us a glimpse into the creative process and the sociology behind the super hero comic book as a story telling art form.
There are points where the lines between the comic story lines and the characters reality seem to blend.
It is a very Jewish novel, but a secular Jewish novel, involving Jewish culture, history and oppression, but without involving belief in god and religious practices.
I really cared about the trio of characters, their successes, failures and distress, as they live through this terrible historical period .

That site has more stuff, too -- links to related articles, some notes about how I researched it, and a contact form in case you want to talk about the fediverse with me! (I'd be happy to chat with journalists about it!)

The big reveal…
So I wrote up a lot of these little stories a few years ago but I’ve added some new ones, cleaned it all up and now I’m the happiest with it that I’ve ever been. You can definitely get a copy in time for Christmas, if you’re so inclined…

"时间在户外有一种奇异的面貌。在太阳之下，时间好像是静止的。只有当每一分钟都是一种对身体的折磨时，你才会发现原来一个小时里真的有六十分钟，而且下一个小时并不比这个小时更接近黄昏。受钟表支配的室内工作者们从来没有跟时间正面交锋过。他们的秒针在打字机的“哒哒”声中走得飞快。当打字机静下来时，他们的一天也结束了。我们这些在户外工作的人，每天都在跟永恒作斗争，其间只有我们的手是忙碌的；我们的头脑在日出和日落之间可能已经变老又再度年轻；未来可能在一个小时中被重写，乌鸫的一首歌还没唱完，希望可能就被杀死又重生过了。我们确切地知道一天有多长。在几个月漫长的煎熬后，我们因为许多的沉默和许多的惊奇而苍老困惑，回到坐在办公室的朋友身边时却发现他们完全没有变化，只一脸单纯地从时间的表面滑过。"
— Stella Benson: 独居, pp. 127-128

Chiquis, os recuerdo que podéis descargar y leer gratis «El año sin sol», un relato de Naomi Kritzer sobre cómo podemos ayudarnos en comunidad cuando todo lo demás falla.

Just a quick reminder...
If you’ve read my book, 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt' I’d be grateful if you left a review wherever you prefer.
This isn’t a plea for 5 star ratings; it’s a request for honesty. Books are personal: I dislike plenty, feel neutral about many, and love a few. Whatever your response, reviews really help. A wall of 5-stars is wonderful, but it can also feel suspicious to readers. A mix of perspectives shows the book is being read seriously.

Are there any book clubs on Mastodon? The in-person ones around me keep petering out or are hard to get to, and the ones I’ve seen online are toooo big for my tastes. I have a slight preference for fantasy/sci-fi, but any genre is good. I just want to talk about books! #bookstodon #books #reading

On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder is a valuable thing to have by your side in these times of increasing fascism.
Each chapter begins with a short bit of advice as it's title, followed by a sentence or two on it's potential importance. The rest of the chapter provides concrete historical examples.
Each chapter is short, and the book is only 126 pages. Possibly the most valuable thing that you could ever read.
I'm going to be posting the first page of each chapter, because of how important I think it is to share these ideas. Please boost if you feel them useful.
