I am tremendously fond of this weird little book and you should grab it.

(Rights are reverting to the Gorodischer estate; I’d be shocked if they didn’t put it back in print again at some point. Still.)

Great deal from Small Beer Press & @weightlessbooks.bsky.social! TRAFALGAR was the first of Gorodischer’s books I translated, will always hold a special place for me.
