Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century

Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution
R. F. KuangIndrapramit DasCongratulations to all the finalists for the Nebula Awards! I recently finished R.F. Kuang's BABEL, so I'm glad to see its ambition recognised (not that it was unlikely to be). Also interesting (and pleasing) to see horror on the short fic list. https://t.co/FCnYWxlB8c

The Peripheral
William GibsonIndrapramit DasSurprisingly very little chatter about a big-budget William Gibson screen adaptation, but THE PERIPHERAL starts off solid. Reminds me of COUNTERPART with its temporal sf espionage thrills, but more blockbuster broad. Slick & entertaining, if prosaic so far. https://t.co/wn1StzOi3m

The Sandman: Book of Dreams
Neil GaimanIndrapramit DasMemory unearthed after watching THE SANDMAN: teen me excitedly prattling about the novel I was reading, NEVERWHERE, to my late uncle. My uncle picking up the novel, clearly disinterested in the book, looking at Neil Gaiman's author photo and saying, 'Well, he is quite dishy.'

Tomb of Sand
Geetanjali ShreeIndrapramit DasApt that I finished reading Geetanjali Shree's TOMB OF SAND (trans. Daisy Rockwell) in this moment; a playful yet deeply felt indictment of the ruinously polarised state of South Asia and its bloody borders and hierarchies, seeking a dissolution of it all in language & story. https://t.co/snNouYp9mZ

My Brilliant Friend
Elena FerranteIndrapramit Das@outseide It's based on Elena Ferrante's My Brilliant Friend and its follow-up novels, about two girls in suburban Naples and their intense codependent friendship as they grow up and take divergent paths through postwar Italy (it's up to the 60s now).

The Spear Cuts Through Water
Simon JimenezIndrapramit DasApparently Simon Jimenez's THE SPEAR CUTS THROUGH WATER is already out! It's v good. My blurb: Reading [it] feels like dreaming an impossibly epic movie, cinematic yet fluidly surreal, a mythic tale of clashing gods that never loses its human heart. https://t.co/gTsmpwnXWX
