Review is solely for "Give the Family My Love" by A.T. Greenblatt, Nebula short story winner, 2019. Story link: http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/green...An astronaut and anthropologist is recruited to visit an alien Library, in hopes she can recover lost research for restoring Northwest US forests. The story is, well, pretty good. Not award-worthy, in my opinion, though I liked it more on second reading, in Neil Clarke's Best Science Fiction of the Year Volume 5. Read it, and see what you think.F...
I needed a break from Heart of Darkness and found this little gem! A short story (less than 6000 words) but it packs an emotional punch.
East of the Sun, West of the Stars by Brit E. B. Hvide ★★★★☆ A modern retelling of Prins Hatt Under Jorden set on an Amish generation ship. These old stories are full of misogyny, rape, subjugation and betrayal. While still present in Hvide’s story, this version gives the female characters agency to change the ending. That alone makes it a thousand times better than Karin Tidbeck’s Underground. Painwise by Robert Reed ★★★☆☆ After antibiotics fail new lines of bacteria take their place. Miracle

"It’s all new and deeply alien.It’s wonderful."El viaje de una antropóloga asmática a una biblioteca alienígena que recuperó todo el conocimiento humano, conocimiento que los humanos perdimos por necios. Un viaje emotivo.
This review is for the Nebula-nominated short story Give the Family My Love by A.T. Greenblatt.An “asthmatic anthropologist” from the future Earth ravaged by man-made disasters and climate change is the only one sent on a research mission to the alien Library where tons of knowledge are stored (and as a bonus you can get any food you want) and she gets to explore it at her leisure, while recording voice messages for her brother Saul back on Earth, the messages showing us the gloomy world she lef...
Review for Give the Family My Love by AT Greenblatt“Give my family my love” is a phrase fraught with meaning. It could be a phrase as light and delicate as something uttered on the phone to a relative while on vacation, “Hey see you next week and give the family my love.” Or, densely and emotionally packed containing the summation of a lifetime of love between individuals, “Goodbye my love, I am leaving for boot camp and then active service, give my family my love.” It is purely contextual and o...
This short story originally appeared in Clarkesworld Magazine, Issue 149 which is available for free to read or listen. It won the 2019 Nebula award for best short story.
***Winner of the 2019 Nebula Award for Best Short Story***Give the Family My Love by A.T. GreenblattNow that one was fun. And confusing. But not because of the tale itself. I’ll come to that later.First things first. What is it about? Well, that’s pretty straightforward. On a distant planet, we follow an anthropologist on her search for knowledge. While she’s making her way to a gigantic library that is run by an alien life form, that she simply refers to as the Librarians, she is recording voic...

"Give the Family My Love" by A.T. Greenblatt ★★★
Another issue filled with thought provoking stories.
I read Give the Family My Love by A.T.Greenblatt for the Nebula Awards 2019 Short Story Finalists. I really enjoyed it. I loved the descriptions of the place and the library. I wanted to know more! Also the forestfires topic is very relevant for this year, especially in Australia. I enjoyed this a lot.
Science and folklore collide in Brit E.B. Hvide’s “East of the Sun, West of the Stars”. As the generation ship’s first space-born children grow, Faith notices something different about her daughter Patience. She is stronger and stockier than the other low-gravity bred kids and has a head of white hair not unlike the Bear Prince from one of her folktales—the same Bear Prince who visits her dreams night after night. I appreciated its depiction of the division of labor in this religious society, ho...
Rating and review for the Nebula nominated AT Greenblatt's story "Give the Family My Love", which kind of annoyed me since I found this kind of soppy stuff more often nowadays. I need excitement, sass, wonder, provocation, quirk, anything but soppy.
3.5 starsThis was original. The idea of this alien place where all the knowledge of the universe is collected is fascinating. And it would be an amazing place to visit, too. Sure, they required quite a lot to grant access to this magnificent place, but it is a worthy price to pay, I think. And I really liked both the MC's voice and the way this story is narrated, via vocal messages to her brother.It is a really short story, but it is a really good one!
Absolutely brilliant. I'd give it six stars if I could.
S. Qiouyi Lu and Ian McDonald in the same issue, woohoo!!
Lately I’m finding more and more exciting to peek into new short science fiction. Besides the sheer fun of variety, the never ending quest of looking for new voices in the genre is highly addictive. In this, my first Clarkesworld issue, my favorite story without a doubt was the stunning “Mother Tongues” from S. Quiouyi Lu, originally published in Asimov’s in 2018, and reprinted here. You can read it online in Clarkesworld website [http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/lu_02...].Other highlights were t...
