Description
A surprising and exciting new collection of speculative and experimental stories that explore animal intelligences, gender, and the nature of stories.
The Privilege of the Happy Ending collects award-winning writer Kij Johnson's speculative fiction from the last decade. The stories explore gender, animals, and the nature of stories, and range in form from classically told tales to deeply experimental works.
The collection includes the World Fantasy Award-winning The Privilege of the Happy Ending and The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe, as well as two never-before published works.

i>The Privilege of the Happy Ending by Kij Johnson is praised for its peculiar and dreamlike speculative stories that intertwine dark wit with literary prose.

Johnson's ability to craft emotional depth in character-driven tales makes these stories appealing both to fantasy enthusiasts and to those who prefer more contemporary fiction.
