Ancient, Ancient: Short Fiction by Kiini Ibura Salaam, Kiini Ibura Salaam
3.0
A really odd, interesting collection of stories, steeped in sensuality and strangeness.
Ancient, Ancient feels completely alien, especially towards the beginning. The first half's stories are almost slippery in their execution, fever-dreamy and poetic. They feel fairly literary in their embrace of the surreal.
I think "Marie" and "Pod Rendezvous" made this collection for me. I do prefer my short fiction to have a little more meat on its bones, and these two delivered.
