Murderbot continues its pursuit of GrayCris as it explores its place in the universe. Fun, quick read.

A Georgian refugee returns home in search of his father. Mixing a mystery and surreal fairy tale, Vardiashvili takes us to a particularly insane corner of our insane world. An excellent debut novel.

Cycling and history. Should have been a sure bet for me but after slogging through 150 pages, I set this one aside. Overwrought prose and some slapdash research.

An odd and entertaining novella set in a near future Detroit. A story of community. Along with Arboreality, this is the second good read from Stelliform Press I’ve come across recently.

I picked this one up after reading a brief, and it turns out somewhat misleading, review. I expected a book in which the author weaves together the story of her family’s migration from Greece a century in the past and the story of the migrant camp Moria. It is, in part, both of those things. But it is in large part also the author’s musings on global migration and immigration, borders, story telling, home and more. Many of Markham’s ideas and anecdotes are worthwhile, a few self-indulgent. Unfortunately, by inserting herself so fully into the book, Markham gives the story of Moria and those who lived there less attention than they deserve. Still, she tells stories worth telling and this is a book worth reading.
