<description>&lt;p&gt;Rachel and Daniel return this month with a wide-ranging conversation about the SFT they&amp;#8217;ve been reading/hearing about/wanting to read from the summer. While Rachel was reading Liu Cixin&amp;#8217;s &lt;em&gt;Supernova Era&lt;/em&gt; (tr. by Joel Martinsen), &lt;em&gt;The Aayakudi Murders &lt;/em&gt;by Indra Soundar Rajan (tr. Nirmal Rajagopalan), and &lt;em&gt;The Dreamed Part&lt;/em&gt; by Rodrigo Fresan (tr. Will Vanderhyden), Daniel was finishing Laurence Suhner&amp;#8217;s &lt;em&gt;Vestiges&lt;/em&gt; in the original French, starting Jean Ray&amp;#8217;s &lt;em&gt;Whiskey Tales&lt;/em&gt; (tr. Scott Nicolay), and reading Francesco Verso&amp;#8217;s &lt;em&gt;Nexhuman&lt;/em&gt; (tr. Sally McCorry). Then they talk about some of their favorite short fiction from the summer, what they&amp;#8217;re looking forward to in the fall, and the very sad closing of Haikasoru, Rachel&amp;#8217;s favorite SFT imprint.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Remember: with new stories and books coming to their attention each week, make sure to check the SFT website for updates. Enjoy, and keep reading!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A bientôt!&lt;span id="more-39900"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="more-39813"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
