Two of these I thought were fantastic:Song Xiuyun by A. QueandHow Alike Are We by Bo-Young KimI also liked National Center for the Preservation of Human Dignity by Youha Nam
I bought this just to read the Kim Bo-young story. It's not her best
Review is for An Arc of Lightning Across the Eye of God by P H LEE
The first and second story were powerful downers. The third and fourth and fifth story were also downers, but I enjoyed them less. The sixth story, a nice long story, was really good and I enjoyed it a lot; it reminded me a bit of Six Wakes, but perhaps that’s more on me than on the text. All in all a good issue!
A very interesting issue, with two translations from Korean and one from Chinese, something which is becoming more and more common with Clarkesworld, and that makes it particularly valuable. All stories keep quite a high level, but I enjoyed mostly three: “Song Xiuyun” by A Que, “National Center for the Preservation of Human Dignity” by Youha Nam, and “All Electric Ghosts” by the great Rich Larson. “Song Xiuyun” is an unusual and kind of amusing story about the distance created between a mother
I am my father’s name, written by my mother’s vision across time and space.I started with P H Lee's short, which was very interesting! Available here. Looking forward to the rest!
Only listened to:~ All Electric Ghosts by Rich Larson - 2*One of those stories that aren't clear until the end. Also there are breaks in the visual story but no clues in the audio version. So I sit in confusion with undetectable time jumps *boo-hoo*I'm sure the actual story is fine. A guy working to reunite some aliens that are on Earth for some reason and he gets something he really wants out of the deal. Something only the aliens can give him.
I will probably do a full review of this issue as it featured some really solid stories.Individual ratings:All Electric Ghosts by RICH LARSON - 4*The Scrapyard by TOMAS FURBY - DNFAn Arc of Lightning Across the Eye of God by P H LEE - 4,5*National Center for the Preservation of Human Dignity by YOUHA NAM, translated by ELISA SINN AND JUSTIN HOWE - 3.5*Song Xiuyun by A QUE, translated by EMILY JIN - 3.5*How Alike Are We by BO-YOUNG KIM, translated by JIHYUN PARK AND GORD SELLAR - 5*
