What have I read this week?
Japanese Fairy Tales by Grace James
This is a collection of fairy tales from Japan. I enjoyed these; while I was not familiar with any of them, some of the motifs were similar to those of Russian or European fairy tales that I’ve read and it was interesting to see the parallels.
The Last Days of New Paris by China Miéville
This is a science fiction novel about Thibaut, a young partisan in a Paris where Surrealist ideas have come to life. I enjoyed this. I like the world, and the story, and all the general weirdness that is going on. I would definitely read more by this author.
