I don’t link online fiction enough, but I found a few links at The World SF News Blog, which I mentioned in an earlier post.

• Here’s a great story at Strange Horizons by Shweta Narayan.
• Here’s a very interesting essay about SF (or its relative lack thereof) in the Arabic world, by Achmed A. W. Khammas. It’s particularly interesting in relation to relatively (though not exactly) comparable status in Korea, and its pinpointing of cultural and historical causes for the scarcity.
