A review by jwells
Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang

challenging dark emotional informative mysterious reflective

Ted Chiang is astonishing,  but no one needs me to tell them that. 

"Story of Your Life," in particular, is exceptional.  It's rare to read something so intellectually engaging that's  also so emotionally moving. Thoroughly deserves the awards it won.
