PRAISE

‘Ken Liu has quickly become one of the most original and thought-provoking story writers of his generation. Deftly riffing off the power of narrative, this collection is as heartbreaking as it is charming.’
—Joe Monti

‘Had the fortune to obtain an advanced reader’s copy of The Paper Menagerie. One of the most impressive collections I’ve ever read. I’m in awe.’
—Jamie Ford

‘The story not only moved me, but it shook me… He reminds us that at the heart of all fiction, even science fiction and fantasy, there is a story.’
