These six linked sci-fi stories are finely wrought in every sense: the language, the characters, the plot, the world, you name it. I greatly enjoyed the sense of delivering myself as a reader into the hands of a sophisticated and conscientious storyteller.

These are beautiful stories which do not lean away from darkness; their strong ethical core and poetic execution make this collection a standout.
