I tried several times to get beyond a "current mood: enraged"
text on "Yellow Blue Oy My God No" but the page announced
"error" so I'm unsure I could fully read the critical
description.
What called my attention was that the lady
(Yuki-Onna?) opened her site under "Rules
for Anchorites - Letters from Proxima Thule."
I suppose there's going to be a Next Thule and a few
others until the last one, but I also couldn't grasp if there's another
reference to Nabokoviana ( not every Zembla, Thule, nor westernized "I Love
You" indicate Nabokov, as I'm sure someone would quickly point it out to
me), this time unrelated to SciFi.

I thought the list might find the following link interesting - it's a
very critical description of a Sci-Fi novel named "Yellow Blue Tibia" set
in Soviet Russia. The accuracy of time and place is debated, as is the
title, which many list members will spot the significance of without following
the link, I'm sure. Plus there is even some talk of whether or not
"Sovetskaya Fantastika" is (at a stretch) a permissible reading of
'SF'...
The author of the novel replies politely in the comments, which is
nice.
