Selected Shorts: Kelly Link and Helen Oyeyemi

April 21, 2016 by Drew

It’s been a while since I last dropped by Symphony Space for one of their terrific Selected Shorts evenings – but I couldn’t pass up the unbelievable double-whammy of Kelly Link and Helen Oyeyemi, so my schedule has been clear for months. The fact that Isaac Fitzgerald was guest-hosting just sealed the deal and so it was that I arrived on a nearly-warm, spring-has-sprung kind of night with excitement brewing in my heart. Dani and I were discussing, as we […]

The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2015

January 27, 2016 by Drew

The Short Version: From a trip to Neil Gaiman’s London Below to a compendium of the ogres of East Africa, from a scientist racing to his daughter before a black hole consumes the Earth to a man attempting to clone his wife, this first installment of the latest Best American series compiles 20 of the best science fiction & fantasy tales of the last year. The Review: It’s astounding to me that this past year was the first with a […]

Get in Trouble

October 30, 2015 by Drew

The Short Version: Pocket universes, ghosts, fairy folk, superheroes, an Egypt revival, boyfriends and Boyfriends – you’re entering the oddball world of Kelly Link, where the people have the same ordinary problems and concerns as we do… it’s just that their universe is far stranger than ours. The Review: I loved Kelly Link’s Magic for Beginners. It stands as arguably the best short story collection I’ve ever read and I still think about a handful of those stories (esp. the title story) on […]

Magic for Beginners

June 17, 2015 by Drew

The Short Version: A handbag that carries a whole village, a house haunted / plagued by rabbits, a television show that appears randomly on random channels, and zombies are just a few of the magical and magically strange things to populate Kelly Link’s nine-story collection. The Review: It took me nearly a month to read this whole collection, even though it’s only nine stories long. It almost required that I take at least a day or more (it was often more) between […]
