Inheritors by Asako Serizawa

Hey, pals:

What’s the book (fiction or non-) that you think of as your secret? Ie, nobody knows how astounding it is but you? Sure sign: you’ve bought multiple copies to give away. Two of mine: “The Mezzanine” by @nicholsonbaker.bsky.social and “Golden Gate” by Vikram Seth. What’s yours?

Thank you! Especially meaningful coming from an astronomer. I did what research I could but sometimes I had to wing it!

My dream show: season one of The Terror but with the cast of Our Flag Means Death

Figured it out. RFK Jr is a Denis Johnson character.

Thanks, Evan! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!

“…quest to save her family with the struggles of the generations that came before her. A prescient, captivating novel with profound things to say about the people we hold onto and the past we carry with us."

There’s nothing I love more than a book that uses the speculative to deepen its emotional hooks. I loved the way Michael did that in All Her Loved Ones, Encoded.

Greensleeves is the best Christmas song because it doesn’t sound like a Christmas song, it sounds like Indiana Jones is sad.

@scalzi.com Starter Villain sounds very up my 11yo’s alley. I haven’t seen much about how kid appropriate it is. I’m not bothered by him reading some garden variety (or even highly creative) profanity, but is there anything in there you think should give me pause?

2. The improv troupe has found you
