Forgive me for being late to and so continuing this trend. I really love these people, though (as well as many more of you whom it won't let me add)!

This is an interview with Marie Redonnet that appears at the end of this edition of Forever Valley (translated by Jordan Stump/UNP edition). In particular I’m drawn to:
“…a poetic power make visible that which has been neither described nor expressed by metaphor, but rather only evoked.”

Never intro'd self or announced my novel before, so why not. Novelist, book reviewer. Wrote a Taiwanese folk-horror novel, The Hell Screens. Second novel Daydreamers (see below) comes out July 2025 from Fiction Collective 2. There is a 25-year gap betweeen the two, which must be some kind of record.
