E. Lily Yu

Untitled E. Lily Yu Collection

I was granted access to this ARC by NetGalley.

E. Lily Yu managed to build an extremely good collection of stories. I did enjoy some much more than others, but none of them are less than a simply nice read and some are really excellent.

These short tales go from fable reinterpretations to contemporaneous fantasy shorts, from emotional snippets to political innuendos or allegories. E. Lily Yu gives pain and farewell, destiny and self-determination, war and anarchism, dreams and disappointment. This ends up giving the reader a kind of picture or perspective of humanity that makes the "box" make sense as a whole and fit the contemporary discourse about who "we" are.

Certainly worth reading for those who like or at least don't mind the fantastical elements and that want a book with something to say but isn't preachy about it.

On Fragile Waves, E. Lily Yu's novel, is most definitely on my wishlist.
