Description

Caribbean-Canadian author Nalo Hopkinson (Brown Girl in the Ring) is an internationally beloved storyteller. This long-awaited new collection of her deeply imaginative short fiction offers striking journeys to far-flung futures and fantastical landscapes. Hopkinson is at the peak of her powers as she roams effortlessly between art, folklore, science, and magic.

Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as having "an imagination that most of us would kill for," Nalo Hopkinson and her Afro-Caribbean, Canadian, and American influences shine in truly unique stories that are gorgeously strange, inventively subversive, and vividly beautiful. In Hopkinson's first collection of stories since 2015, a woman and her cyborg pig eke out a living in a future waterworld; two scientists contemplate the cavernous remains of an alien life-form; and an artist creates nanotechnology that asserts Blackness where it is least welcome.

"Hopkinson's stories dazzle." National Public Radio
