Fall 2023 is a particularly good season for the Library of America: Faulkner's short stories, Adrienne Kennedy's plays, 2 more volumes of crime novels, an anthology titled "Black Writers of the Founding Era", and perhaps most exciting for me: JOANNA RUSS novels and stories.

I'm so excited about this news from Library of America:
"For Fall 2023, we’re thrilled to announce JOANNA RUSS: NOVELS & STORIES, collecting the multidimensional works of a speculative fiction luminary. The volume restores her complete Alyx stories to print, and includes her 1975 classic, The Female Man."

Just finished The Two of Them and I need to lie down and/or break something.
Goddamn that's a brutal book.
I #AmReading The Two of Them by #JoannaRuss and identifying hard with just how fucking tired she is of the patriarchy.
@dogtrax I went into a bookshop a few months ago looking for Tanya Huff. He didn't have any, but recommended #JoannaRuss instead. Extra(Ordinary) People is unexpected and _good_.
