Booker-Prize-award-winning translator Daisy Rockwell gave us a blurb! image
Coming next month!
Robin Sloan (who's been giving Ghosts, Monsters, and Demons of India amazing shoutouts for a long time -- thank you Robin!) has added it to his Christmas gift guide: Robin is also the author of the book Sourdough, which we thought was really good and funny, especially if you are a little familiar with the Bay Area. Also refreshingly non-dystopian while still pretty weird
