21st Century Literature discussion

Here are a few links that are related to this month's wildcard selection, Stories of Your Life and Others. There is a lot of Ted Chiang material on the web, including reviews, interviews, and stories. I only linked some samplers, but if interested, a search will yield more content.

I read this a few years ago, but I'm excited to discuss what I can remember!

I just finished listening to the audio earlier today. Looking forward to the discussion!

I read China Mieville's review with interest - this collection of stories really reminded me of Mieville. Especially the title story, which reminded me quite a bit of Embassytown.

Hey friends, Seattle's "Bushwick Book Club" (borrowed from NY's version), is doing Ted Chiang's Exhalation: Stories Saturday, Feb 13th.

Musicians create songs based on the book. Sometimes very closely tied to the book, sometimes just a concept from the book. Always a variety of music genres.

Since it's a virtual event, I thought I'd share here!
