Beschreibung

A new anthology of Chinese short-fiction by award winning author Ken Liu.

Here are sixteen short stories from China's groundbreaking SFF writers, edited and translated by award-winning author Ken Liu.
In Hugo award-winner Liu Cixin's 'Moonlight', a man is contacted by three future versions of himself, each trying to save their world from destruction. Hao Jingfang's 'The New Year Train' sees 1,500 passengers go missing on a train that vanishes into space. In the title story by Tang Fei, a young girl is shown how the stars can reveal the future.
In addition, three essays explore the history and rise of Chinese SFF publishing, contemporary Chinese fandom, and how the growing interest in Chinese SFF has impacted writers who had long laboured in obscurity.
By turns dazzling, melancholy and thought-provoking, Broken Stars celebrates the vibrancy and diversity of SFF voices emerging from China.
'Dreamlike and hypnotic, evocative and inspiring' THE BOOKBAG.
'Ken Liu is a genius' ELIZABETH BEAR.
'An instant classic ... Poetry on every page' HUGH HOWEY.

Experiencing fiction from another culture is always interesting even if it might be harder to connect to it. Ken Liu did a good job of collecting stories which, for the most part, don't have a barrier for western audiences to enjoy them. I would say, with exceptions, they are pretty similar in style and themes to what is popular in short SF in the US, but with inspirations and twists from Chinese culture added. The introductions and essays provide a good background for further understanding. While the stories themselves were good, most of them I didn't find to be that memorable or their plot didn't appeal to me. With the exceptions of "Submarines", "Reflection" and "The Brain Box", which really stood out to me, they didn't leave a lasting impression. That said, I enjoyed the majoriry of them while reading and there is a variety of topics covered, but there were also more stories than usual which I didn't much care for.
