ZNAK SAGITE — više od fantastike — edicija, časopis, knjižara...

Vratio sam se Merrie Destefano i njenom Afterlife-u i ne uviđam šta me nateralo da joj pretpostavim Bearov HZT?!

Mislim, upravo ono što čini HZT interesantnim (priča ispričana u prvom licu, upravo onako kako bi je ispričao protagonista), ujedno i kvari uživanje u čitanju.

HZT-u nedostaje atmosfera kojoj sam se nadao i zamenilo ju je hladno i konfuzno pripovedanje događaja o tome da svaka tehnologija u lošim rukama postaje instrument (moralno) teško prihvatljivih odluka.
Osim toga, ima previše "deus ex machina"-situacija za moj ukus.

S druge strane, Afterlife je bogat atmosferom koja se i da očekivati za društvo koje se bori s problemom "skoro pa besmrtni/skoro pa mrtvi". Udrite me  , al' me više zanima ovaj problem od onog pretstavljenog u HZT-u!

Evo novembra u potpunosti:

novembar


The Ten Thousand, Paul Kearney
The Thief-taker's Apprentice, Stephen Deas
Wolfsbane, Patricia Briggs
The Iron Duke, Meljean Brook
Shadow's Son, Jon Sprunk
Pegasus, Robin McKinley
Divine Misdemeanors, Larurell K. Hamilton
The Better Part of Darkness, Kelly Gay
Songs of Love and Death, GRRM and Gardner Dozois

Napokon sam završioprvi tom "Veštine Senčenja." Iz zbrke bih izdvojio sledeće priče: "Mandarinka," Akutagave; potom, sve priče od Kavabate: "Mladež", "Kamelija," "Šljiva," "Leto i zima," "Čavka." Potom, "Kratak susret" od Tacuo Nagaija; to je i Kobo Abe, naravno, sa "Crvena čahura," i "Štap." Na kraju, bukvalno, na kraju zbirke, ističu se dve priče: "Soba prostitutke," Đunosuke Jošijukija, kao i "Breskve" od Akire Abea. Naravno, poslednja špriča od Kenzaburo Oea ima svoju draž: "Agui, čudovište sa neba."

Lični favoriti, od ovih priča, jesu "Mandarinke" od Akutagave, "Šljiva" od Kavabate, "Soba prostitutke" od Jošijukija i "Breskve" od Akire Abea. Krećem sa čitanjem druge zbirke priča, javljam utiske kad završim    

Pročitao i drugi tom. Iz zbirke izdvajam:

Kafu Nagai, "Orden."
Rjunosuke Akutagava, "Nit paučine."
Jošiki Hajama, "Pismo iz vreće cementa."
Jasunari Kavabata, "Srce." (odlična, mnogo kratka priča)
Jasunari Kavabata, "Senica." (definitivno su mi se u obe zbirke svidele njegove priče, moraću negde potražiti ako ima prevedeno koje njegovo delo)
Dazai Osamu, "Sećanja."
Jukio Mišima, "Jaja." (definitivno najtripozovnija priča, ludilo živo)
Cacui Jasutaka, "Anđeoske gospođe."

Od ovih, ponajboljih priča, kao najbolje od najboljeg izdvajam:

Kafu Nagai, "Orden."
Rjunosuke Akutagava, "Nit paučine."
ukio Mišima, "Jaja." (definitivno najtripozovnija priča, ludilo živo)
Cacui Jasutaka, "Anđeoske gospođe."

Ako ćeš čitati Kavabatu, mogu najtoplije da ti preporučim "Lepotu i tugu". Kod nas je prevedeno srazmerno dosta toga - Velemajstor, Snežna zemlja, Hiljadu ždralova - ali za mene je Lepota i tuga najbolja. Mislim da se Murakami u Sputnik ljubav trudio da dosegne tu zlokobnu atmosferu i kvalitet u sličnoj priči (mlada žena, starija žena, muškarac) ali nije mu baš pošlo za rukom 

Hvala na preporukama. Stvarno, zbirke su bile super; no ono što je grozno je pomenut nedostatak lektora, i MASA grešaka. U ovom drugom tomu ima još nešto: pola priče na kraju nedostaje! To jest, priča "Besmrtna," i "Visoko sa grebena" su sastavljene, te neke stranice nedostaju.

Zaboravih da stavim u najbolji izbor priča i "Žena iz zalagaonice." Ulazi u najbolje od najboljeg. Još malo pa ću dokusuriti i "Manufakturu G." O toj zbirci, malo više ću pisati na blogu.

Chretien de Troyes -   Perceval ou le Conte du Graal

U prevodu Parsifal. Sjajno delo...

Pročitao "Lepota i tuga." Uh. Poređenje sa "Sputnik ljubav" stoji; meni se Sputnik više svideo (ne toliko kao priča, nego kao moderniji izraz Murakamija). Međutim, "Lepota i tuga" me više emotivno uznemirila. Sjajan roman, zaista. Sutra-prekosutra i prikaz...

Super, čekamo!

Obećano-učinjeno! Klik na blog

Završih i "Luna je okrutna ljubavnica." Mnogo dobra spejs opera, zaista osvežavajuće

Na sta lici taj Remic?

Čista kopija Gemela. I to loša. Ni ne pokušava da sakrije, čak ga pominje u zahvalnici. Što se mene tiče, neću čitati nastavak.

To mi je sledeće na listi posle Bespuća i On je hod'o međ' nama. Znači, dobro je?

Bespuće mi se veoma sviđa. Mada malo prepolitizovano. Genijalno je uklopio sve te s jedne strane stereotipne, a sa druge strane jedinstvene likove, situacije i preobražaje u tu veoma neortodoksnu marsovsku sredinu. Sve to prikazano pomoću izukrštanih priča (od kojih je svaka jedno malo remek delo) koje se spajaju u celinu.

Nije neviđeno, ali je majstorski odrađeno (sasvim si bila u pravu kada si ovu knjigu poredila sa Sto godina samoće).

Kod zajeba birokratije, (možda jedino moguće) rešenje je odlazak u prošlost - ne da sam se odvalio, nego... ) Genijalno.

Prevod je takođe prva liga.

Za sad sam pročitala pet priča, od valjda dvadeset, i dobro je. Dve koje sam pročitala su iz univerzuma Bespuća.

Priča sa Baronom Minhauzenom (nije iz univerzuma Bespuća  ) mi je malko previše ispolitizovana i na prvu loptu, mislim, shvatam ja šta je pisac 'teo da kaže (priče Barona Minhauzena su uverljivije od onoga što američka propaganda servira), al' moglo je to i vickastije.

No, sve u svemu, za sada je dobro.

Pročitala još pet priča iz zbirke.

Kako odmičem, priče postaju sve bolje.

Anđeosko srce, Vilijam Hjortsberg.

Nisam verovala da ću ovo nekad da kažem, ali: batalite knjigu, pogledajte film.

Knjiga je ok, pitka je, čitljiva, ali ništa ne gubite time što biste samo pogledali film; knjiga je maltene doslovno prebačena na film, tek poneki slabiji detalj je ispušten ili zamenjen nečim boljim, a u filmu su i sjajni Robert De Niro i za ulogu sasvim odgovarajući Mickey Rourke.

E, pa sad...ne bih se složio Meni je knjiga bila bolja

Elem, u poslednjih sedam radnih dana, pročitao sam sijaset nekakve literature ("Paklena kuća" "Luna je okrutna ljubavnica" "Ružin dom") ali od posla ne imadoh vremena da se dublje osvrne na pomenuta dela....

Šta ti je u knjizi bilo bolje?

Inače, baš šteta što se ovde nije našla i Clean Sweep by Laurell Hamilton - jedna on najzabavnijih superherojskih storija koje sam ikada čitao, uključujući i Wild Cards.

U načelu i meni. Ovo je izuzetak.

Inače, pročitala Metisonovu "Paklenu kuću". Jedna od boljih knjiga o ukletim kućama, mada je meni i dalje najbolje "Isijavanje", barem od onog što sam ja pročitala.

Treba vec reci sta citamo u 2011-oj  .
Jedrenje u Sarantiju- Gaj Gavrijel Kej. Nekada davno procitao sam knjigu o Justinijanu i Teodori, gde se takodje mnogo spominju Hipodrom i stranke Zelenih i Plavih. Pisac je svoj svet stvorio upravo na osnovu Vizantije, i odlicno je to uradio. Ima svega, akcije, fantastike, intriga i spletki, promisljanja o umetnosti, religiji, vlasti, moci. Nadam se da i nastavak- Gospodar careva, ne zaostaje u kvalitetu.
Vrata do raja- Din Kunc. Petsto strana procitao sam za dve veceri. Jednostavno, prijemcivo, ali naprosto osvaja, ulazi pod kozu. Glavne likove  morate zavoleti, tako su dobro prikazani, i ne ostavljate knjigu dok ne saznate njihovu sudbinu. Roman je kombinacija sf i psiholoskog trilera.

Melkore, ajd' otvori temu za 2011.

Vruc krompir Temu neka otvori deda....

Salu na stranu, Anomandere, otvaraj novi topik. Ionako nista ne citam ova dva dana, ne bi bilo karmicki ispravno da ja to uradim 

Nego, sta bi preporucili od procitanog tokom 2010? Znam da prave preporuke zavise i od onoga kome se preporucuje, ali neka opsta top-nekoliko lista sigurno moze naci mesto na jednom forumu.

Bright of the Sky, Kay Kenyon
Covenants, Lorna Freeman
The King's Own, Lorna Freeman
Shadows Past, Lorna Freeman
A Shadow in Summer, Daniel Abraham
A Betrayal in Winter, Daniel Abraham
Changes, Jim Butcher
An Autumn War, Daniel Abraham

The Iron Duke, Meljean Brook
Geist, Philippa Ballantine
Masked, Lou Anders

Ovo je najširi spisak knjiga u kojima sam baš onako uživao. Među njima je i jedna koja je objektivno loše napisana, ali svejedno mi je prijala kada sam je čitao. Doduše, nisam se nakanio da čitam nastavak. Još. Nameravam da sastavim top deset ili tako nešto, pa da obrazlažem - ali moram naglasiti da me je nekoliko naslova izuzetno pozitivno iznenadilo, pre svega Kej Kenjon, Kris Vuding i Ken Šols, ali i Meldžin Bruk.

So that's the Recommended Reading List for 2010, as compiled by the staff and writers of Locus magazine. Looks like there's an interesting mix of online, magazine and anthology sources in the short fiction lists. I'll be updating the list tonight with links to the fiction that can be found online. Let us know what you think in the comments!

Moj komentar je da je "Lokus" propustio da preporuči neke romane koje nikako nije smeo, a da je sa druge strane preporučio neke druge koje nikako nije smeo.

Koje?

I koje? 

Quote from: Nightflier on 02-02-2011, 23:49:45
... a da je sa druge strane preporučio neke druge koje nikako nije smeo.

Hull Zero Three 

Mrzelo me juce da pregledam celu listu. Od stvari koje sam citao ubacio bih Gejmenove i Sarantoniove "Stories", i kao da primecujem odredjenu crtu snobizma kod neubacivanja Andersove "Masked", stavise jedina prica pomenuta iz te antologije je McDonaldova koja, po mom skromnom misljenju, nije najbolja tamo.

Radio sam neke analize danas, pa nisam stigao da odgovorim, ali ukratko i ja zameram na snobizmu sa jedne strane, a sa druge na popuštanju pred hajpom. Ima nekoliko romana koje ću navesti, i to u obe kategorije.

Meni je ovo naprosto preglomazna lista za bilo kakvu ozbiljnu preporuku.

Nebula Award Overlap
— posted by Karen Burnham at Tuesday 22 February 2011 @ 8:11 pm UTC



The 2010 Nebula Award nominee list is out! This gives us our first chance to examine some lists and look for overlap. I've marked all the stories that appear both on the Nebula ballot and the Locus Recommended Reading list with asterisks [**]. Of course, it's pretty easy to overlap with the Recommended Reading List, since it is large and meant to be comprehensive. It's also much easier to compare now that the Nebulas have brought their eligibility year in more alignment with other awards. So it's almost amazing that only two each of the Nebula nominated Short Stories and Novelettes  show up on both lists. There's much better agreement in the other categories, especially for the Novel and Novella categories.

I also notice that the Nebulas seem to prefer the traditional magazines and anthologies for their short fiction this year, with only two novellas, no novelettes, and three short stories coming from on-line venues.

I'm curious about the eligibility of Bacigalupi's "The Alchemist". Every indication is the Subterranean print edition was in January 2011 (I just ordered it from Amazon). So is eligibility determined by the earlier audiobook?

"The native star" is on the recommended list too. Amazing how many debut novels to be found on the nebula award nominee list!

Mark R. Kelly:

"So is eligibility determined by the earlier audiobook?"

Yes.

Evo tri romana za koja mislim da ne bi trebalo da se nađu na "Lokusovoj" listi:

The Desert Spear, Peter V. Brett (Del Rey; Voyager)
Changeless, Gail Carriger (Orbit US)
The Folding Knife, K.J. Parker (Orbit US; Orbit UK)

Međutim, to mi i ne smeta toliko. Ali zato mislim da je izuzetna nepravda što se na tom spisku nisu našli:

The Black Lung Captain by Chris Wooding
Prince of Storms (The Entire and the Rose, Book 4) by Kay Kenyon

Oba pisca su više nego izuzetna - i to ne samo kada je reč o maštovitosti i world buildingu, pa i zabavi - već i kada je reč o čisto zanatskom umeću i lepoti jezika kojim se služe. Za mene su Kenjonova i Vuding najveće prošlogodišnje otkriće, uz Bruksovu - koja me je uhvatila u raskoraku, pošto tako dobro pisanje nisam očekivao od samodeklarisanog ljubića.

Čini se meni da je na Lokusovoj listi sve ono što je njihova ekipa rivjuista pročitala. 

Asimov's has the same number of stories on the list this year as it had last year. The drop for us came a couple of years ago, seemingly almost as a direct response to criticism that the judges weren't reading widely enough. I thought that might have been true, too, and I was glad to see the list open up. As a result, though, my stories seem to be held to a quota system where it is rare that more than one story a month is "recommended" by Locus reviewers. Some might argue that the omissions are due to my taste in stories, but, in my opinion, it means that a lot of great material is missed. Will Macintosh's "Bridesicle," which won my Readers' Award Poll in addition to the Hugo, is a case in point. The results of this year's Readers' Poll are still a secret, but there is a tie in short story. One story is on the list and it deserves to be there. The other, which is an extremely powerful and beautifully written tale, is not. A few years ago, I think it that without question it would have been there. These omissions may be a hard price for the authors to pay, but as long as the list is taken as a guide, and not as an oracle on all the worthy stories that are published in a given year, it's more important to see a well-rounded list that includes material from a large variety of places than a list that is dominated by any one outlet, be it in print or online.

I ja nešto mislim da oni tu popuštaju pred izdavačima, koji pak hajpuju pisce po prijateljsko-rođačkim osnovama. Drugog objašnjenja nemam.

Postuješ na pogrešnoj temi. Imaš temu za 2011. Zače, mogao bi da zaključaš ovu temu, da više ne bi bilo zabuna.

Sorry, moja greška, samo sam pratio link sa teme "upravo čitam"

Ajd i to.

Dakle, šta čitamo 2010 je zatvoreno, a ako baš imate potrebu da dodate nešto, obratite mi se.
