6/ That's when I realized that @spitkitten wasn't messing around. This gem of a novella is delivers on the initial promise. Other readers agree. Author Lauren Dixon said,

5/# then right off the bat, there's #BillMurray. There are so many references to #caddyshack and classic comedies that make you stop and think, what exactly is the author's intent with all this? Is it just clever, or are they getting at something.

4/# As an editor of #SF looking a unique, cerebral take on anything classic, I was immediately intrigued, and I'm quite familiar with both Freud's texts from my #litcrit days and #shakespeare, as an English teacher.

3/#"So Quick Bright Things Come to Confusion is a deep space, post-colonial love story deeply indebted to the hubris of hegemony, still-permeating power of Freud's concept of ego, and, of course, the great manners comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream."

2/This book came through the #slushpile with a tagline I thought, there's no way the author can deliver on.

8/8 Quick Bright Things is the kind of story an academic could examine through multiple lenses. It also compassionately examines the forces that shape our perceptions, while holding true to a tradition as old as Shakespeare. That combination, for me, was too good to pass up.

@spitkitten 7/ Author Lauren Dixon said So Quick Bright Things Come to Confusion "successfully illustrates the risks we take when we don’t question our own privilege, entitlement, and ignorance." I couldn't agree more. All those comedy references, all those Easter eggs, all add up to genius

I sometimes wish it was par for the course that editors got to give their take on books they acquire. It isn't. Fortunately, I don't care! Read on for an #Editor's take on what makes a #book a good fit for an #indiepress. #SF #scifibooks https://t.co/7SJ7Db0bTU

In my new Q&A with author Caren Gussoff Sumption, she explains why her romantic #SciFi #SpaceOpera novella "So Quick Bright Things Come To Confusion" is actually a "comedy of manners #horror story."
