Kirsten Menger-AndersonJust ahead of my March 18th book release (and on Pi day!!!), the LA Times ran a wonderful review by Ilana Masad of THE EXPERT OF SUBTLE REVISIONS. The final paragraph below:“The Expert of Subtle Revisions” isn’t a political book, per se, nor is it moralizing. Menger-Anderson doesn’t overtly connect 1933 Vienna with the first and second Trump administrations in Hase’s near future. Instead, the plot follows Hase’s investigation of her father’s disappearance and Anton and Zedlacher’s eventual encounter with time traveler Haskell. But as Hase herself knows from editing Wikipedia, neither history nor language are neutral, and Menger-Anderson superbly demonstrates how a writer needn’t shy away from the political tensions of a historical period but can use them to heighten and contextualize setting, character and plot."<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/writersofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writersofmastodon</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingCommunity</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon@a.gup.pe</a> <a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon@fedigroups.social</a>

They sometimes make fortunes on the way, but inevitably fail in vituperious disgrace and vitriolated shame, because being smart enough to read source code has absolutely nothing to do with competence or being a worthy human being."

asmw"As they say: If in doubt, hide in a cloud." Haribord whispered the ancient proverb and poured some water from his flask onto his open hand. Within seconds, the water started to bubble and fog began to fall to the floor, much more than it had any right to.The giant cavern filled with unnaturally thick fog in minutes, diffusing the red light from the ember crystals, which grew on the rough ceiling, into a hellish glow. Alarmed voices could be heard echoing on the stone walls."Who the fyock says that?" Stora rumbled and risked another peek over the boulder they were hiding behind. "Can we go now?""The scholars <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/attribute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#attribute</a> the proverb to the witch Haliga and although most people think it means to know when to hide and retreat, it's not actually that."Haribord had closed his eyes. His face twitched from concentration, which gave him a demonic visage in the red gloom."You see, Haliga's cloud is not just a cloud. It is grown from you and thus part of you." Sweat ran down his brow. "You feel all that it touches. It will follow you and go anywhere you want." The fog started to flow and pool in different corners of the cavern.
