Here is the official call for the Wuxia & Xianxia special issue of Strange Horizons.

I'm so delighted to be guest editing it with Joyce and Mia.

I'm specifically looking for fiction, poetry, and translations of fiction/poetry from Chinese, so please do pass this submission call along to writers & translators who might be working on something that fits.

On Roberto Arlt’s THE SEVEN MADMEN

Before you read it­, you might see a quote from Roberto Bolaño on the back cover: Let’s say, modestly, that Arlt is Jesus Christ. You can ignore the blurb; you can have an original relationship with the book. Maybe this is what you should do.

Any pointers to housing resources for an international woman student at the University of Hamburg? She will need to find a place to stay by February 2023.
