Lily Yu.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the village of Yiwei, a fallen wasp nest unfurls into a beautifully accurate map. In a field in Louisiana, birdwatchers 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 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. For readers who loved the intelligence and compassion in Kim Fu's \u003ci\u003eLesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century\u003c\/i\u003e and the dreamlike prose of Kelly Link's \u003ci\u003eMagic for Beginners\u003c\/i\u003e, this collection introduces the short fiction of E.
