The strange, the sublime, and the monstrous confront one another
with astonishing consequences in this collection of twenty-two
stories from award-winning writer E. Lily Yu. In the village of
Yiwei, a fallen wasp nest unfurls into a beautifully accurate map.
In a field in Louisiana, birdwatchers forge an indelible connection
over a shared glimpse of a Vermilion Flycatcher, and fall. In
Nineveh, a judge who prides himself on impartiality finds himself
questioned by a mysterious god. On a nameless shore, a small
monster searches for refuge and finds unexpected courage. At turns
bittersweet and boundary-breaking, poignant and profound, these
twenty-two stories sing, as the oldest fables do, of what it means
to be alive in this strange, terrible, beautiful world. For readers
who loved the intelligence and compassion in Kim Fu's Lesser Known
Monsters of the 21st Century and the dreamlike prose of Kelly
Link's Magic for Beginners, this collection introduces the short
fiction of E. Lily Yu, winner of the Astounding Award for Best New
Writer and author of the Washington Book Award–winning novel On
Fragile Waves, praised by the New York Times Book Review as
"devastating and perfect."
