Still, the book manages to be an exciting standalone, swinging its narrative between the borderlines of paranormal and hard science fiction. In a way, it’s a reserved prequel to Liu’s Remembrance of the Earth’s Past trilogy, which uses the mystery of its titular phenomenon as a staging post for the concepts to follow. ![]() Ball Lightning, originally published in 2005 but translated into English by Joel Martinson this year, can be described as a procedural science fiction one that takes readers through the excitements and frustrations of research, focusing on theoretical modelling and experimental physics, and the scientific enquiry that bridges them both. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Grim lovelies![]() Now, the world she always dreamed of is rife with danger.

Through this reading, Bakhtin develops several concepts, which are now regarded as essential to the study of Rabelais, and to the study of Renaissance social and literary contexts more broadly. Bakhtin foregrounds sections of Rabelais’s novels previously suppressed or ignored, subjecting the novelist’s entire oeuvre to an encyclopedic close reading.
