Date: 2014-08-24 08:09 pm (UTC)Invisible ed Jim C. Hines This collection of essays about representation in SFF was amazing and heartbreaking.
The Women Destroy Science Fiction! issue of Lightspeed should be eligible in this category too.
I'm also planning to nominate What Makes This Book So Great by Jo Walton, which is a collection of her reviews form tor.com, because I really enjoy her reviews.
I've gotten behind on short fiction again -- I plan to work on getting caught up again after I finish the current draft of my thesis. I have read few things since I wrote my last short fic rec post.
Two that think you would like are The Contemporary Foxwife by Yoon Ha Lee (Short Story) and Three Partitions by Bogi Takács (Novellette)
For the Campbell I'm planning to nominate Benjanun Sriduangkaew again.
