English, eh? It’s the tongue of my rearing and the only language I know more than sixteen useful words in, and I find myself sharing directly in the woes and miseries of those for whom it’s a second, third, fourth, or higher-order language - such as misusing words that have universally deleterious connotations.
In honor of Groundhog Day, I would like to recommend Fu Qiang's hilarious time-loop story "Kill That Groundhog", recently translated by Andy Dudak and published in @clarkesworld. Both the metafictionality and the final twist made me laugh out loud. https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/fu_12_23/ #SFInTranslation #ChineseLit #GroundhogDay #NotTheBillMurrayOne #ButAlsoKindOfThatOne #TimeLoop #WhatAConcept
