Lili Yu is a wonderful collection of short stories. All the stories are based on either folklore or a distant future. The writing was a bit difficult, but it did not hinder the readers from enjoying the book. It is my first time reading the author's book, and I was quite impressed. For me, "The Lamp at the Turning" was the most unusual romance that I have ever read. At some places, I felt the stories needed something more to make sense. The book gives you an atmosphere of old folklore, fairy tales, and futuristic worlds. The book definitely deserves 4 stars. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book. 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. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
PrijzenOnderscheidingen
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.
