If you’ve just received a new ereader for the holidays—or if someone gave you a Gift Certificate, Welcome to Weightless! We offer DRM-free ebooks from a wide variety of independent voices. All your ebooks are always available in your Library in all formats provided. Here are just a few recommxended books from me and from Michael.
Just in time for Christmas and the holidays, we have two new titles from Jeff and Ann VanderMeer’s Cheeky Frawg:
Nnedi Okorafor says of Amos Tutuola’s Don’t Pay Bad for Bad: “I first discovered the worlds of Amos Tutuola deep in the African Literature section of Michigan State University’s library. I haven’t been the same since. His stories utterly threw me off. Theywere Yoruba folktales woven into indigenous quirky Nigerian fantasy. Tutuola’s work is under-celebrated, overwhelming, deliciously mad and many times just plain hilarious. In his worlds, Death isn’t even safe from misfortune. His tales are both local and universal. If you are a fan of speculative literature, Don’t Pay Bad for Bad is required reading.”
The second title is Leena Krohn’s Tainaron: Mail from Another City which Publishers Weekly gave a starred review to: “Her elegiac linguistic melodies enthrall the mind’s ear, evoking as well bittersweet intimations of immortality more lovely, dangerous and disturbing than any realistic voice might utter.”
And with these two books, Cheeky Frawg reaches ten titles, including one of the late hits of 2012, Karin Tidbeck’s Jagganath, cult favorite The Honey Month by Amal El-Mohtar, and many others.
