An alluring new collection from the author of the New York Times Notable Book, Midnight Robber Nalo Hopkinson (
Brown Girl in the Ring,
The Salt Roads,
Sister Mine) is an internationally-beloved storyteller. Hailed by the
Los Angeles Times as having "an imagination that most of us would kill for," her Afro-Caribbean, Canadian, and American influences shine in truly unique stories that are filled with striking imagery, unlikely beauty, and delightful strangeness.
In this long-awaited collection, Hopkinson continues to expand the boundaries of culture and imagination. Whether she is retelling
The Tempest as a new Caribbean myth, filling a shopping mall with unfulfilled ghosts, or herding chickens that occasionally breathe fire, Hopkinson continues to create bold fiction that transcends boundaries and borders.
