myrmepropagandist on Nostr: Reading “Jonathan Strange” again and thinking about how good it is at grounding ...
Reading “Jonathan Strange” again and thinking about how good it is at grounding fantasy in ways that make it all the more compelling. Wondering if it might make sense to start “The Planet of the Ants” … on earth. Post-doc with academic ambitions is denied their first choice for an exchange assignment (what could the first choice be?) and assigned instead to go into cold freeze and be sent halfway across the galaxy to Myrmecos: The Ant World. And she wonders if this is a dead end for her career!
