Das Flirren der Hoffnung

Die phantastische Literatur ist ein Universum, das es immer wieder neu zu erkunden gilt. Als Leitsterne haben wir uns in diesem Almanach Becky Chambers mit einer Wayfarer-Erzählung und Aiki Mira mit einer brandneuen Story ausgesucht, umgeben von zahlreichen anderen hell leuchtenden Himmelskörpern. // Dieses Mal schreiben unter anderen begeistert: Matthias Fersterer über Ursula K. Le Guin, Kim Stanley Robinson über Gene Wolfe und Barbara Slawig über Rebecca Campbell. Joanna Russ plaudert mit Samuel R. Delany, und Elizabeth Hand führt ein Gespräch mit Kelly Link. Nicola Griffith fragt danach, wie schwer Hoffnung wiegt, Michael Moorcock erzählt uns von Weihnachten im London der 1940er Jahre, und Alan Moore berichtet von seiner fiktionalen Begegnung mit Arthur Machen. // All diese Stimmen lassen eine Vielfalt von Welten vor unseren Augen erscheinen - bestürzend mögliche und faszinierend unmögliche.
