Another collection of weird, fantastical short stories. (I certainly seem to have a type when it comes to short fiction, don’t I?) I first encountered this author a couple of years ago when she was the only person with two stories in a “best of” collection that I read, and they were also two of the best stories in that book. In this one: Mostly stories set in our-world-made-strange – imagined futures, magical pasts, the present torqued sideways, but starting mostly from us as we are. Great writing, keen insight into dynamics of race and colonization and migration, a tendency to plunge you into the the middle of things and make you do your own work to stay afloat. Exactly my kind of thing.
