Recs Post!

[sanguinity]

It's been a long, long time since we've done a recs post. Some of you have been asking for recs as we've gone along (and please continue to do so!), but just in case anyone has been hesitant to start a post of their own, please feel free to use this one. :-)

But first...

• Tehelka, an Indian newsweekly, did a special Pulp and Noir short fiction issue a little while back.
  
  
• Did you know that Expanded Horizons ("speculative fiction for the rest of us") has an authors of color tag?
  
  
• Over at Tumblr, WildUnicornHerd has a roundup of Ted Chiang's works, with links for what is available for free online.
  
  
• Unusualmusic at Angry Black Woman is asking for recs for technology-heavy SF books by POC authors -- go forth and recommend!
  
  She's also got some links to news about Nnedi Okorafor and Zadie Smith, just in case you want to know such things. ;-)

Got a rec? Need a rec? Is there any particular thing that you've been looking for that you haven't been able to find? Ask in the comments!

I have a couple rec requests: anything by a Stoney Nakoda writer, and LGBT (or subversive/punk/taqwacore) Muslim stuff.

As for giving them - I just read I am a Chechen! by German Sadulaev and I liked it a lot.

Chief John Snow, These Mountains are our Sacred Places (1977). Looks like it is still in print, yay.

And apparently the Stoney-Nakoda Nation wrote the foreword for Lietfoot's (Cherokee) The Medicine of Prayer. Which may not have been quite what you were looking for, but technically counts as "anything" by a "Stoney Nakoda writer."

LGBT Muslim stuff from my TBR list, both academic texts:

Jasbir Puar, Terrorist Assemblages.
Joseph A. Massad, Desiring Arabs.


And I'm gonna guess you already know about Sabina England, but in case: Sabina England, and Sabina England's short plays.
