Dear readers, I'm getting increasingly interested in current debates about the reemergence -- nothing new, yet more noticeable in/by the mainstream now -- of the so-called Slipstream literature. These are literary fiction works that combine speculative fiction modes and themes often associated with sci-fi.
Any fans out there? And what is your take on the YT Speculative Reader's video essay about this mode of recent literature? Video essay -- check video from minute 11 onwards.
I was thinking about M John Harrison’s booker when I found the Speculative Reader YT video, actually. My view on this is that, finally, mainstream audiences are getting to know something far better than the slop that inundated the market in the last 10 or so years!
