“When the cat spoke he never moved his mouth. His voice seemed to come from his throat in much the same way a purr might, but this voice was clear, full of a calm levelness that was measured and precise, wise and never wasteful with its speech.”

— Bajabar, House of Rust

This is a beautiful work. The 2022 Ursula K. Le Guin Award went to Khadija Abdalla Bajabar for House of Rust, published by Graywolf Press. https://lithub.com/khadija-abdalla-bajabar-has-won-the-ursula-k-le-guin-prize-for-fiction/

I finished reading Voice of the Fish by Lars Horn last night and am still processing. What I do know is that it's the best #CNF book I've read in years, possibly ever. Proceed to your local #bookstore or #library. #nonfiction #book #graywolfpress #poetry #lyricessay
