Karl Ove Knausgaard\u2019s <em>The Morning Star<\/em> kept readers up all night, immersed with nine characters whose individual lives are heightened by the sudden appearance of a blazing new star, and <em>The Wolves of Eternity<\/em> portrayed the intimate experiences of two estranged half siblings decades before the star rises.

Their corpses are wrapped in chains and drained of magic to feed the unquenchable hunger for imperial conquest. Born with magic, Arienne has become resigned to her dark fate. But when the voice of a long-dead sorcerer begins to speak inside her head, she listens. There may be another future for her, if she\u2019s willing to fight for it. Miles away, beneath a volcano, a seven-eyed dragon also wears the Empire\u2019s chains. Before the imperial fist closed around their lands, it was the people\u2019s sacred guardian. Loran, a widowed swordswoman, is the first to kneel before the dragon in decades. She comes with a desperate plea, and will leave with a sword of dragon-fang in hand and a great purpose before her. In the heart of the Imperial capital, Cain is known as a man who gets things done. When his best friend and mentor is found murdered, he will leave no stone unturned to find those responsible, even if it means starting a war.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:16% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/atay-640x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14457 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/atay-640x1024.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/atay-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/atay-768x1229.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/atay-960x1536.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/atay-1280x2048.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/atay.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h1 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyrb.com\/products\/waiting-for-the-fear\"><em>Waiting for the Fear<\/em> <\/a>by O\u011fuz Atay, translated from the Turkish by Ralph Hubbell (NYRB Classics, October 22)<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:16px\">A giant of modern Turkish literature, O\u011fuz Atay remains largely untranslated into English. First published in 1975,\u00a0<em>Waiting for the Fear\u00a0<\/em>is Atay&#8217;s only collection of short stories, praised by the Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk for having transformed the art of short fiction. Atay&#8217;s stories are vivid with life&#8217;s absurdities and psychologically true to life, while his characters, oddballs and losers all, are utterly individual. A brilliant examiner of the inner life, Atay is no less aware of the flawed social world in which his people struggle to make their way, and he is exceptionally attuned to the strange power storytelling itself can exert over fate. In the title story, a nameless young man returns to his home on the outskirts of an enormous nameless city to discover that he has received a letter in a language he neither knows nor recognizes\u2014after which, step by step, the inscrutable missive reshapes his world. In &#8220;Railroad Storytellers: A Dream,&#8221; a professional story peddler lives in a hut beside a train station in a country that is at war\u2014unless it isn&#8217;t. He can&#8217;t remember. What do such life and death realities matter, however, so long as there are stories to tell?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Face of God: A Documentary&#8221; by Dami\u00e1n Neri, translated from the Spanish by the author (Clarkesworld, October 1) The Third Realm by Karl Ove Knausgaard, translated from the Norwegian by Martin Aitken (Penguin Press, October 1) Shapeshifting visitors, unsolved murders in the forest, black metal bands and an online bank of thousands of people\u2019s<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/?p=14454\" class=\"more-link themebutton\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":323,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[103],"tags":[911,1509,140,1507,1508,52,168,129,983,984,1147,1512,1510,1513,127,1511,12,951,952],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14454"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14454"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14454\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14461,"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14454\/revisions\/14461"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
