We kick off the week at @strangehorizons.bsky.social with Kyle R. Garton on Fadi Zaghmout's fantastical parable, The Man of Middling Height (translated by Wasan Abdelhawq for @syracuseup.bsky.social).

The book "will provoke much discussion, and—hopefully!—controversy," Kyle argues. Why? Click!

The Man of Middling Height is at its best in moments that combine theme, plot, character, and image.
