This afternoon, I was taking a break from emails and interview question compositions to read through a few of the SF/F forums that I frequent on occasion. On one of them, someone listed a bunch of titles she had recently acquired and which she ought to read first. One of them was the PS Publishing English translation of Serbian author Zoran Živković's Escher's Loops. I said that ought to be the one she ought to read. Then I started to think a bit...
First, I was wondering if my preordered copy would be arriving soon (will email Pete Crowther later about that, since I changed debit cards since placing the order last autumn), then I started to think about the PS titles of Živković's that I had already purchased (all pictured above), and then I started thinking about just how much I've enjoyed his works over the years, going so far as to acquire some of them in Serbian (along with two American editions of earlier novels), pictured below:
Consider this not just book porn, but an endorsement for an author whose works I've enjoyed for six years now. Oh, and before any ask why there's an apparent Dune title there, well, guess who did the Serbian translation? Amazing what one can find when browsing online retailers...
