Myth, monsters and making sense of a disenchanted world: why everyone is reading fantasy
I have made the leap from literary fiction to fantasy – for those who think it’s mere wish-fulfilment, here’s why we need that thing with the dragons
"...where [Pullman] has Lyra think about the human need for the kind of things we can’t prove, but would suffocate without."
[Pullman writes] “Maybe the imagination is a sort of wind that blows through all the worlds … It shows us true things.

I'm fascinated by the rise of SFF - workplace novels. The last book I read was Severance (not the TV show, but there's that) by Ling Ma.

...I've not (yet) read these (so BIG salt grain here) but from what I can tell online, these choice tell us that this moment is about how we cannot escape the past, our selves (identities) and our choices. But maybe someone smarter and more well read than I am can offer up something more cogent,.

I've learned so much from talking to authors! Each conversation can be a master class! And I've never had an author or poet who wasn't open, kind, and eager...well, almost never.

A hairless cat looking over the book THE ATLAS SIX by Olivie Blake.
I’m also in the querying trenches with my own SFF novel, so finding the best new voices means a lot. Wanna navigate the chaos together?
Current Read: @olivieblake.bsky.social 's THE ATLAS SIX. 📚
(That’s my hairless cat, my fellow reader.)
