Recs if you like The Way Spring Arrives and Other Stories...

an unranked list of memorable short stories and collections

... keeps the boredom away! 😁

Anthologies and single-author collections with a focus on genre fiction and marginalized authors. Suggestions always welcome.

The University of Rochester found that only 3 percent of books published in the US are in translation. I want to create lists of recently published (fiction) literature (2022-2025) in translation from different languages, out of curiosity. Will mostly be sourced from the university's database, which goes up to 2024, and then sourced from publishers for 2025 (won't be comprehensive for 2025). Feel free to suggest titles, from the last 5/10 years if you like them, or other languages of interest!

For when you want to watch the Chinese fantasy drama again for the first time.

The original web novel by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang, translated into English and published (finally, might I say) is included, along with Chinese fantasies that feel like xianxia or xuanhuan shows. They’re magical, melodramatic, epic stories. May include quests, immortals, demons, romance, and reincarnation.

Science fiction and fantasy anthologies and story collections written and edited by BIPOC and/or focused on the experiences of BIPOC.
