I want to meet you like trains pass through stations
The mail this evening brought my contributor's copy of Transcendent 4: The Year's Best Transgender Speculative Fiction (Lethe Press), edited by Bogi Takács. The table of contents is packed with names like Nino Cipri, Nibedita Sen, Catherine Kim, Izzy Wasserstein, H. Pueyo, Margaret Killjoy, L Chan, and Davian Aw; the cover art is stunning. My contribution is "The Face of the Waters," originally published in Forget the Sleepless Shores (2018); it was written to redress a disappointing experience of ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ashlyme's with a story of canals and rain and almost certainly bears traces of recent exposure to Sapphire & Steel (1979–82). I am delighted and honored to have it included in this anthology, my second appearance in the series. Also I now own a copy of Robert Levy's Anaïs Nin at the Grand Guignol (2019) and that just looks great.

I will attempt to report back. I had a wonderful time on a panel with the author at NecronomiCon.

As a person who believes that actual-facts Anaïs Nin was a sociopath, do you think I am likely to enjoy the Levy?

The protagonist of the novel is not a sociopath, which may make it a so-so representation of Anaïs Nin, but it means the first-person narration can be enjoyed rather than endured. It's presented as if a missing chapter from her diaries, which I haven't read, so I don't know if the conceit holds up; on its own it reminded me a lot more of Tanith Lee.
