You Glow in the Dark

pick

I enjoyed the individual stories in this book, but they were quite different from each other, and that lack of cohesion somewhat affected my overall engagement, so a low pick
That said, the mix of sci-fi, macabre and historical fiction demonstrates a nice range of style, and they were all well written.
The title story is a fictionalised account of the exposure to radiation of a poor Brazilian community due to corporate negligence, which was ⬇️

Bookwomble ... both sad and infuriating.
The #Caturday #CatsOfLitsy photo of Miss Skye is entirely unrelated to the book, and is really just a shameless bid for extra likes! 😸😁 1w

Atomito is the mascot of the Bolivian nuclear energy programme. In Colanzi's short story, Atomito assumes an apocalyptic guise for the poor residents of El Alto, living next to a nuclear power plant.

Bookwomble Hmm, I added Blowin' in the Wind as I've always thought it a song about nuclear fallout being spread around the globe and how we're all connected and affected by war, but now I've checked the Wikipedia article for the song, it doesn't mention this as a theme. I guess Nobel Prize winners write lyrics that can be interpreted on many levels 🤔 2w

TheBookgeekFrau Omg! Fischer Z!!! You just zoomed me back to 1984 when I met my husband 😂 He had a tape of Fischer Z that we played til it wore out. It's been forever since I heard that name 2w

Bookwomble @TheBookgeekFrau My sister introduced me them in 1980 when they released Going Deaf for a Living. We disagreed about the pronunciation of the band's name, she insisted it was an Americanised "fisher zee", I insisting on the British "fisher zed". I was right! ?? It's actually a pun on "fish's head"! I love the Red Skies Over Paradise album, and I'm glad it gave you a happy memory ? 2w

TheBookgeekFrau @Bookwomble Thank you for both the memory AND the correct pronunciation of their name! 😁 2w

Reading too many books at once so nothing gets finished quickly!

I'm enjoying The Idiot, but the ebook was taken back by the library so now I have to read the paperback, which'll take longer. I'm about halfway through HF for #RiseUpReads I finished TDoE for #Netherlands #FoodandLit. Ooft, what a book, what a surprise ending. I'm working through TSoAwM and forsee a Met Museum hunt in my future. Tagged book was for a global reading goal. #Bolivia

sarahbarnes I‘m really interested in Art Without Men. And I can‘t agree more with your sentiments about Discomfort of Evening. I read it last month and oof was the word I came away with, too. 10mo

Liz_M @sarahbarnes It's written in a very informal style and the segues are almost comical. I think it started as a series of Instagram posts. It's a good overview, nothing in depth, and has thick shiny paper so the reproductions (on every page) look nice. 10mo
