Savory tales that do not satisfy in the way western fairy tales do, but stitch their lessons to bloody stumps. Well written, many are open subversions of well know stories one deftly combines Jack and the Beanstalk, Puss and Boots, the Pied Piper and possible one other, without harming any beanstalks. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The strange, the sublime and the monstrous confront one another with astonishing consequences in this collection of twenty-two stories from an award-winning writer. In the village of Yiwei, a fallen wasp nest unfurls into a beautifully accurate map. In a field in Louisiana, bird watchers 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.
