Udon: Unknown Dog of Nobody, available as a gorgeous chapbook from @strangerspress.bsky.social, follows three sisters and their adopted dog into adulthood. Haneko Takayama writes speculative ecofiction about animals, and it's fantastic to see her work in translation! japaneselit.net/2025/10/03/u...

I picked up this book on a whim in Hive Books in Norwich. It's a beautiful chapbook containing a single, exquisitely wrought SF short-story in translation. Lucid, polyvalent and ambiguous.
