Summary
Literary fiction no. 5 - the work of Ursula Legvin
The content of this annual publication, with segments dedicated to prose and theoretical-essay works, essays, interviews and critical texts, reflects the current moment in literary creativity of fantastic provenance. The magazine opens with the story "ComZay" by this year's winner of the Man Booker Prize and one of the most famous American authors of short stories, George Saunders. Next comes the sci-fi story "Pictures of cats, please!" with which Naomi Kritzer won two prestigious awards for fantastic literature "Hugo" and "Locus" in 2015. And the prose block closes with the previously unpublished story "Zoroastrian in Belgrade" by Mileta Prodanović. The section devoted to essays opens with the contribution "Foreign technology in SF literature: an interpretation between Scylla and Charybdis" by the prominent Serbian astrophysicist, cosmologist and popularizer of science Milan M. Ćirković, who in the text about the use of motifs of advanced technologies and their artifacts in SF literature shows that the role of technological elements in the discourse of science fiction is far greater than is usually accepted in critical literature.
