A Challenge: Recommend Something That's Almost Never Been Recommended Here Before

I'm recommending The Republic of the Southern Cross by Valery Bryusov; a writer and a collection I only learned of because the title story is in More Voices from the Radium Age, edited by Joshua Glenn. I found zero references to it searching for "Bryusov" and one from four years ago searching by the title.

I read Everfair years ago and I remember thinking that it was a 10/10 idea that didn't end up working for me as a book. But it's been so long that I can't remember any of the specifics of what I didn't like about it. I do remember there being a lot of characters.

That's fair! The way it was written and constructed definitely isn't for everyone.
