I played some catch-up on new pieces added to Valente's list in Goodreads. Two of them already read, and a handful with new links to where the pieces are online, in their online magazines. I love falling on more and more pieces of hers to read.

This was not a favorite story of -- this retelling of the universe, of birth and death, in parallel, between the universe and the science fiction writer -- but I still absolutely, madly adore her entire usage of the english language and I would read her works talking to me about a phone book for years, if only for her usage.
