A book I should have liked more than I did; so much interesting stuff here that’s right up my alley about the use and genesis of language, linguistic and cultural contact, how species think and how we process the world, alien intelligence, the self, language as a tool for cognition, how colonization changes a community, etc, etc, etc. But for all of its gifts, I wanted it to be more gripping than it was! Excellent worldbuilding and use of terminology both new and old, a detailed setting, and lots of other wonderful things going for it; a worthy read nonetheless.

In Anna Elena Torres' Horizons Blossom, Borders Vanish, she off-hand mentions Chaim Krull, an disabled anarchist writer and literary critic who wrote reviews with a pen in his mouth once he lost use of his hands - as it turns out, there is a compilation of his writing, including I think all of his larger works! I'm slowly working my way through an amateur translation of the introductory biography given by his longtime best friend. I'm especially interested in In Toytn-Hoyz [In the dead-house], a short novel where Krull depicts life in the hospital for the chronically ill where he spent his final years.
