With its haunted shoes and sheep and cats, Bora Chung's novel in ghost stories (translated by @antonhur.com) gently suggests the degree to which humanity’s efforts to control the world are themselves figments and fantasies.

A photo of the book Midnight Timetable, standing on a black shelf next to a glass vase with two pink-orange flowers and some greenery."What we can see and hear and touch in this world is very limited. And so perhaps it’s true we don’t know much about the world at all. We like to say there’s nothing new under the sun, but we don’t have the slightest inkling of how many things there are, indeed, under the sun." from Midnight Timetable by Bora Chung, translated by Anton Hur

A spooktacular book? Enquiring minds must dive deep and dredge up all that awaits lurking in its pages. Warning: contains witty retorts, yearning (all sorts), and spiritual, political, *and* nautical knots.

The two #Equinox are the only days when the Sun rises due East and sets due West, everywhere.

At the Dec solstice the sun rises in the S-East. At the June solstice it rises in the N-East. As the days pass between the two, the sunrise position slowly changes passing due East each equinox.🤩 🔭🧪

We are also looking for volunteers and ideas, always. Part of our goal is to reflect an authentic modern Dublin (and Ireland more broadly) to the world, making sure all facets of this brilliant spec fic community are represented.
