Lovely to see Reading Fictional Languages getting a mention as well. So much great research in 2023!
This survey of the year’s work in stylistics is brilliant, useful and also really annoying as I now have to go and read all the stuff I missed
Any Portuguese readers here? I’ve got a new e-book out today. 🖖🏻

Although they might not be the stories you’re looking for, I think The battle of the mage linguists by Scotto Moore (currently reading) and The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe (next on my list) fit your criterium.
If that had come out two years ago, it would’ve been perfect for Chapter 4 of my book.
@gliese1337.bsky.social can’t think of a better name for this review!
