Light from Other Stars by Erika Swyler

5.0

What a wonderful break from the universe as it appears at present to contemplate worlds unseen. Though this book is a departure from THE BOOK OF SPECULATION in many ways, it cements Swyler as a master of speculative, imaginative fiction. As someone who isn’t a master of visualizing descriptions, I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that this book gets some visual treatments, perhaps a graphic novel as well as tv/film. LIGHT FROM OTHER STARS made me want to be smarter, to invest in my sense of hope, and to answer the question of how I might be an explorer even half as brave as Nedda in my own tiny corner of the universe.
