A fantastic article from Jesse Rowell now online at BSFA Vector. An insightful and thoughtful piece built around a review of my novella Brain Fruit, but which goes way beyond into very interesting places.
For those of you at Bristolcon next weekend… Brain Fruit will be on sale there and I’ll be reading from it.
Here’s the article, which is well worth a read…
Today 500 “Brain Fruits” are released by L’il Factory, using old printing techniques to birth a far future story.
“A mind-bending, bio-digital fable that pulses with poetic strangeness. Oram’s Brain Fruit is daring, disorienting, and deeply human.”
As the latest review from Josh M on NetGalley says, “A fruit falls and new life begins: a trioid with bee and bug. Thought-provoking short novella about identity and connection. To say too much might spoil it, just read.”
The beginning… “The evolutionary crawl continues its upward curve when the first of the fruits to drop this season hits the ground. It lies there helpless, and I reflect on the fact that, even as I was building this fruit, I thought it was special.”
