I think it's safe to post this now that it's been announced - I illustrated a limited edition version of "Babel" by @rfkuang.bsky.social for Subterranean Press šŸ“•

statement

I initially planned to say nothing about Babelā€™s inexplicable disqualification from the Hugo Awards. But I believe that these cases thrive on ambiguities, the lingering question marks, the answers that arenā€™t answers. I wish to clarify that no reason for Babelā€™s ineligibility was given to me or my team. I did not decline a nomination, as no nomination was offered. 

Until one is provided that explains why the book was eligible for the Nebula and Locus awards, which it won, and not the Hugos, I assume this was a matter of undesirability rather than ineligibility. Excluding ā€œundesirableā€ work is not only embarrassing for all involved parties, but renders the entire process and organization illegitimate. Pity. 

Thatā€™s all from me. I have books to write.

i wrote about Cord Jefferson's AMERICAN FICTION, Percival Everett's ERASURE, and my thoughts on YELLOWFACE half a year out for Time. Good movie, fantastic book, and weird genre that I'm personally done writing... time.com/collection/t...

the Bulgarian translator of BABEL - Bogdan Rusev - has won the Krastan Dyankov Prize for his work on a book that is admittedly a translator's headache. i enjoyed reading about his strategy for handling the match-pairs! full article here. Congratulations, Bogdan! ekf.bg/news/article...
