Thanks for the lead.

Incidentally, I found a book that I’ve read already on that list – Embassytown – https://www.superlinguo.com/post/12256165069/embassytown-review

I agree with Lauren’s review. A really language-centric, engaging Sci-Fi read.

To kick start your interest, if you’re in Sydney, I recommend an inexpensive (and worth it) theatre performance that deals with language on the move, both verbal and body language. “My Urrwai”, written and performed by Ghenoa Gela https://belvoir.com.au/productions/my-urrwai/ It’s about her own journey and relationship to Torres Strait Islander language and culture. Maybe another year we can include a creative work like theatre/film/song in the challenge!

I would like to suggest Bea Lorente’s “Scripts of Servitude.” It fits several of the categories.

Further inspo can be found on ‘Superlinguo’ where Lauren Gawne compiled a personal master list (http://www.superlinguo.com/); but please extend your own list beyond this one..! It’s not much fun if we all read from the same list 😉

Thanks for the suggestion! We’ll keep that in mind for the Language on the Move Reading Challenge 2019 🙂

Great suggestion! You are on! 🙂 The key point is to extend your reading and have fun. It’s a broad field and we are not intending to police what qualifies and what doesn’t …

Yes, please send in your suggestions; we’ll also provide suggestions in our monthly progress posts.

If this book qualifies for your reading challenge, we’ll be happy to participate and post comments as we progress.

However, it would be nice if we could get a list of recommendations of books. Perhaps that is something commenters could put together?
