Nineteen sparkling stories that weave between the lands of the living and the lands of the dead. Spirits Abroad is an expanded edition of Zen Cho’s Crawford Award winning debut collection with nine added stories including Hugo Award winner “If at First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again.” A Datin recalls her romance with an orang bunian. A teenage pontianak struggles to balance homework, bossy aunties, first love, and eating people. An earth spirit gets entangled in protracted negotiations with an annoying landlord, and Chang E spins off into outer space, the ultimate metaphor for the Chinese diaspora.

    Unique and fascinating. Ambient. Lovely. It’s different, and alluring because of it. My favourites are the second story with the koi fish 🐠, the “vampire” story and the tale about an imugi

Цитати

  • Natalia Shumytskaцитирапреди 2 години
    she was grateful to that rabbit. It had been like a second mother to her, said Chang E.

    What Chang E didn’t like was the rabbits claiming to be intelligent. It’s one thing to cradle babies to your breast and sing them songs, stroking your silken paw across their foreheads. It’s another to want the vote, demand entrance to schools, move in to the best part of town and start building warrens.

    Siew Tsin closed her eyes and fell off the bridge backwards. She fell forever. The light on her eyelids went from lurid red to warm gold. The smell of seawater was taken over by rain and fresh air. The clouds came up to meet her.

    She never hit the ground.

    Everything was much simpler than Byam had thought. Heaven and earth were not so far apart, after all
