From a quiet master of the genre, a selection of stories collected for the first time: from the early innovative work that won her the Astounding Award for Best New Writer, such as ?The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees,? to recent short fiction such as ?Small Monsters,? E. Lily Yu's writing has continued to garner award nominations and recognition from the literary community for its beauty, pathos, and delicate strength.
Collecting stories from across her career, along with brand-new pieces and an introduction to Yu's wide-ranging body of work from one of her dear mentors, Jewel Box is filled with baubles of delight and tales of tremendous weight. At turns bittersweet and boundary-breaking, poignant and profound, the stories in Jewel Box effortlessly catch the light of E. Lily Yu's signature gorgeous, incisive prose.
