It's certainly inspirational - especially for those of us, like yours truly, who have been procrastinating on getting in better shape for a long time.
View original postThere is, however, one other thing that I thought I'd share before going silent again. I have a new translation appearing in an upcoming July 2016 anthology, The Big Book of Science Fiction, edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer. For those of you who are fans of SF short fiction, some (if not all) of the contents of this 750,000 word anthology might be of interest to you, so here's the link to the story listings.

Very cool. Looks like a good opportunity to make a start of remedying my shameful lack of familiarity with many of the great sci-fi authors. And congrats on being included in that!

I've been increasing my aerobic and running workouts this past month or so. Lost another 3 kg, plus I ran a 5K race today in 28:42, nearly 3 minutes faster than five weeks ago. Maybe I will get sub-25 by year's end.

As for the book, pre-orders do help in convincing the publisher (Vintage) that perhaps similar anthologies should be commissioned, especially for ones that have more non-Anglo-speaking stories than usual.
