Chie and Weng Read Books

August 5, 2013August 5, 2013 / RCRuiz

Today, we publish our first official review on Chie and Weng Read Books. We have a number of reviews lined up and Weng is reading up a storm. For our first review, Weng read Ekaterina Sedia’s Alchemy of Stone. Ekaterina is a fabulous writer and we’ll be reading and reviewing more of her work at a later time. But for now, we hope that you enjoy reading this review and that you’ll check out Ekaterina’s other books.

Read Hymn to Life at Philippines Genre Stories

“It matters what matters we use to think other matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with; it matters what knots knot knots, what thoughts think thoughts, what descriptions describe descriptions, what ties tie ties. It matters what stories make worlds, what worlds make stories.” -Donna Haraway, Staying with the Trouble-

Reading through this with the Refugia book club

A book I keep returning to. Highly recommended reading.

An important read for boots on the ground activists

Glissant's work continues to inspire me

Mignolo is an essential read, as far as I'm concerned

More than comforting, this book made me realise that there is no shortage of real time.
