Thanks so much to @verbwellington and everyone who came and MASSIVE thanks to Sinead Overbye. Here's a thread of books I talked about.
NOWHERE TO BE FOUND by Bae Suah is possibly my favourite book of all times. https://koreanliteraturenow.com/web-exclusives/nowhere-be-found-bae-suah
It would be definitely my favourite book of all times if I hadn't read UNTOLD NIGHT AND DAY which is phenomenal. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/feb/24/untold-night-and-day-bae-suah-review-dreamlike-quest
A BATHFUL OF KAWAKAWA AND HOW WATER by Hana Pera Aoake is new from @CompoundPress and is amazing.

FANTASIAN by Larissa Pham is one of the New Lovers, a series of short erotic fiction published by Badlands Unlimited, and probably my favourite 'double' book. https://www.printedmatter.org/catalog/45992/
I found our about FANTASIAN from this amazing essay by @hellopollyanna https://meanjin.com.au/blog/through-the-looking-glass/
I am extremely excited about Shu-Ling Chua's essay collection ECHOES. https://somekindpress.com/products/echoes
