August 18, 2019 – My short story “Mother Tongues,” first published in the January/February 2018 issue of Asimov’s, has been longlisted for the 2019 Hugo Awards. If the fifth year of the Hugo Awards long list anthology by Diabolical Plots meets its Kickstarter funding, then this will be the sixth time “Mother Tongues” has been reprinted.

by S. Qiouyi Lu on @Scribd, as Part of the anthology „The Best Science Fiction & Fantasy of the Year“ 13. Given our family history, I can relate and I am deeply moved. Selling your mother tongue, what a crazy concept: https://t.co/NGPW3NHRu2
