Adam Zaff adamzaffphotography — Here's the review from my twice-yearly zine (October '06). I think I preferred Link's debut short story collection, Stranger Things Happen, but I definitely appreciate what she's aiming for her. Nobody writes stories quite like hers: Kelly Link is herself no stranger to the bizarre, or even to charges of sometimes wading too deep into its waters for some readers’ taste. In a recent missive to members of her online writing workshop, Link encouraged writers to “submit more ambitious work....stories and characters and narrative twists that only you are strange enough to write.” Link has clearly taken this advice to heart, and then some. The stories that she and husband Gavin Grant select regularly for Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, their twice yearly zine, as well those chosen for the Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror series, which the couple have co-edited with Ellen Datlow since 2004—to say nothing of Trampoline, the 2003 anthology Link edited by herself—all of these reveal a penchant for the interestingly odd, the adventurous and ambitious short story. But this is nowhere more evident than in Link’s own short stories, most recently collected in the delightful Magic for Beginners (2005, Small Beer Press). These are stories that toy with expectations, subvert what we think we know to reveal something fundamentally more unusual and intriguing, more sinister or sublime, at the core. These stories often do have the feel of dreams to them—which of course is to say the bizarre, but not simply for its own sake. The strange and unexpected twists these stories sometimes take, the playfulness that Link displays with her words, the worlds she builds that are not quite our own—these are not an attempt to undermine reality, but to clarify it, to better understand and reveal the weird magic at reality’s heart. These have the feel not just of images, but of unsettling truths. Link’s stories are as frightening, and as funny, and as dazzling as any lingering dream.

Camila Vidal camilavidal — great book

Pateau Beurre35 baboop35f0d6 — The focus of this book is definitely on King's personal and political accomplishments rather than his personal life. It is clear he was tactically brilliant in choosing how to execute civil rights demonstrations, and the necessity of nonviolence. He had a keen grasp of the big picture, how the movement was perceived by the rest of the country, the deepest roots of the problems they faced, and the ultimate mechanisms required for real lasting transformation of race relations. I enjoyed reading his views on Vietnam and the concept of Black Power, and the differences that blacks faced in the rural south compared to the urban northern ghettos such as in Chicago (he moved to the poorest parts of Chicago to understand the issues they faced). Having won rights for blacks in the letter of the law, he was in the process of shifting the movement towards a focus on poverty when he was shot, recognizing that many problems faced by blacks were due largely to the rampant poverty shared by other minorities and poor whites as well. Despite the fact that this was pieced together from thousands of written, audio, and video documents, King's voice really shines through. His words and vivid imagery are incredibly stirring and inspiring. If I ever need to write a powerful speech I know which book I'll be cracking first.

Joshua Mallett jmallett642b13 — Unprovable. Bunk and debunked but wholly entertaining.

Gillian Ludlow gillian_ludlow — Amazing book, that's all I have to say!

Olga Sh o_sh — I only read this book because it became banned in a school district (don't even remember which school district), hence wanted to find out why it was banned. I have to say, I liked it a lot. One of those books that you can just read over and over.
