An excellent collection of sci-fi and near scifi stories. Many award winning and award nominated. Including the title story; which won the Hugo, Nebula and World Fantasy Awards. Good Hunting, a story that mixes Chinese mythology with modern times was adapted in Netflix's Love, Death and Robots animated series. ( ) Ken Lie has a brilliant approach to weaving together history and realism with fantastical/speculative fiction elements, drawing it all into poignant and deeply emotional relief. It took me a long time to read this anthology, largely because the stories are very good . . . and sometimes, so painful and heavy and immediate that upon finishing I needed to set the book aside and take some time. Both to process the story and to give myself a little emotional space to breathe. 3.5 Stars - for the short The Bookmaking Secrets of Select Species I wouldn’t necessarily say this is an actual story, but the way Liu describes these species and how they communicate and pass on their culture is impressive. Such detailed originality needs to be acknowledged and appreciated. It’s a testament to sentience, where one wants to leave their indelible mark to forever remember and be remembered. My favourite was Good Hunting. I loved how Liu infused the romance of Chinese mythology with the shiny sleekness of steampunk future. The themes were done so well, even if the plot itself felt too intentionally geared towards specifically exploring these themes. I think it's just my own bias against science fiction and the extra unnaturalness I feel about having to learn the rules of a new world. Anyway, I haven't been able to stop thinking about 狐狸精 which funnily enough is the point! Paper Menagerie was obviously also a stand out, and great for anyone who regrets being a sullen teen mistreating their mother and wants to have a good cry! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
