I read a lot of pulp-y shit, but mostly 60s and earlier (and really, mostly 50s and earlier.)
I've never read any Michael Morcock or Roger Zelazny, for example.
Should I? Who else am I missing because I've focused on the first half of the 20th century?

or be brilliant or climb up walls
or hang from walls
but to sit in the grass
in our clean best frills and listen,
shyly nodding our heads
or shyly shaking our heads
because we understand, yes truly we do."

from 'The Forester's Daughter', by Claire Keegan
#SundaySentence #Bookstodon #Stories
Between spaghnum and buttercup,
Between dandelion and broom,
Between forget-me-not and honeysuckle,
As between clear blue and cloud,
Between haystack and sunset sky,
Between oak tree and slated roof,
I had my existence. I was there.
Me in place and the place in me."
from 'A Herbal' by Seamus Heaney
#Poetry #Nature #Bookstodon
in the palm
of a human hand millions of years in the future,
says I become you
and you
a mountain of matter.
Blueberry plant stretches its roots
smelling the soil for atoms,
hears faint hand outstretched pinching stems pulling berries:
says what do I eat and who do I stain?"
from 'Mountain Blue', by Maya Chowdhry

Then I was told 3 minutes before stage time that... my #mythology book is not being sold at the festival.
Because... by Hungarian law, you can't sell #lgbtq content within 200 meters of a school.
So 8pm, at an adult literary event, I couldn't actually sign. Greek mythology. Because there is a school building nearby.

This is always an exciting time in the life of a book. The title of the collection is one that I’ve always had in mind for one of my projects. It comes from The Odyssey. -->quote below
It's being published by Donovan Street Press, probably mid-to-late November, owned by @ilanderz
And while you're waiting for it, I've got lots of other fiction available:

I am very excited, and very nervous. I put my heart and soul into researching these myths. Maybe because I am an archaeologist, but this one makes me more nervous about what people will think than any of my previous books 😬

It is coming out in Hungary on the 16th from Trend Kiadó.
It contains 25 little known stories from Greek and Roman mythology - including variants of myths not included in most popular collections. Sourced and researched, and re-told by a storyteller.
If anyone has any suggestions, let me know :)

The book was an erotic thriller titled "In the bed of the mafia"

I read a collection of primary sources about the history of Budapest's XII. district. It started at the Ottoman Wars, and went all the way to the Communist Era, with court records, newspaper articles, personal diaries, letters, and other interesting contemporary sources. Great local history publication.

Sultan of Zanzibar: The Bizarre World and Spectacular Hoaxes of Horace de Vere Cole (Martyn Downer)
Known mostly for the infamus Dreadnaught Hoax (feat. Virginia Woolf) Horace Cole was a fascinating figure in the early 20th century. A real life trickster as well as a tragic figure whose world changed drastically due to historic events. Downer does a great job with this biography, giving a realistic picture of him.

Repülős Gizi, a tolvajok királynője (Bodnár Gizella)
[Flying Gizi, Queen of Thieves]
The autobiography of the famous Hungarian thief Bodnár Gizella (Flying Gizi). An honest and fascinating read about addiction, living through the entire 20th century as a woman, struggles, poverty, and life in prison. Being a talented thief is the least memorable thing about this woman's story.

Medical Muses: Hysteria in Nineteenth-Century Paris (Asti Hustvedt)
The book explores the heyday of the study of "hysteria", through the lives of three women who were exhibitied in Paris as model hysterics. Sometimes very dark and sometimes amusing, the author goes beyond trying to diagnose them, focusing on the cultural context of "hysteria".
