Prison Letters from a Free Spirit on Slow Death Row

Pen Pal

Ken Liu's latest twist-filled sci-fi and fantasy anthology emphasises family and shared humanity ... The 17 stories of The Hidden Girl come out amid high expectations. Liu not only meets these with equanimity, but also sends his stories jetting off into new dimensions' Straits Times.

The Hidden Girl and Other Stories

brilliantly written, light and funny when required and serious at the appropriate moments....And there are so many secrets left to explore so much more to find out about Legion and his aspects that I'm hopeful of another book, as frustratingly, but in a good way, it left me wanting more.

Ultrasound: The Requisites

“A haunting picture of an era in which science and the arts overlapped, a perfect storm in which inspiration for “Frankenstein” could strike. Like a bolt of lightning.”

A Tale of Dissections, Real-Life Dr. Frankensteins, and the Creation of Mary Shelley's Masterpiece

The Lady and Her Monsters

&ldquo;Man versus nature, and the ability of humans to cope under environmental stress, are Stewart&rsquo;s two obsessions. He is at once a chronicler of the achievements and architectures of modern civilization and an ecological fatalist. . . . In Storm, he went so far as to write what he called a biography of the weather.&rdquo; &mdash;Christine Smallwood, The Nation&ldquo;Weather is here for the first time given the importance in fiction that it has in fact. . . . It is impossible to forget, anywhere in the novel, the impending weight of that mighty movement of the air. . . . Stewart with admirable ingenuity and sure craftsmanship has let us look for a moment at the mortar that holds a civilization together. A good many of his readers will never again . . . note a cloud without remembering at least momentarily that the air, not the earth, is our mortal home.&rdquo; &mdash;Wallace Stegner, The Boston Globe&ldquo;[Stewart] presents meteorological detail with obsessive care, although not without wry humor. . . . By looking down on society from the height of a tempest, [Storm] frames all human and animal lives&mdash;earnest and ignorant, shaped by forces they forget to consider&mdash;as being on the same side as they strive for meaning and survival.&rdquo; &mdash;Blair Braverman, The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;The storm itself . . . becomes absorbing as few human characters, in fiction, ever are. It is a splendid job of research and design.&rdquo; &mdash;Time &ldquo;Storm is considered the first of its kind, paving the way for an entire genre of fiction, the eco-novel. Fans of The Overstory will be transfixed with this reissue, which follows the storm every day of its existence as we would a volatile and dramatic character, and leaves us with a renewed awareness of the interconnectedness of our mysterious and awe-inspiring world.&rdquo; &mdash;Julia Hass, Lit Hub &ldquo;A massive winter storm brings destruction, peril, and death to drought-plagued California....A new introduction by Nathaniel Rich provides historical context for Stewart's reissued classic, first published in 1941. Pure excitement for eco-fiction fans.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus, starred review&ldquo;[Storm&rsquo;s] very structure is anti-anthropocentric. Unfolding over twelve chapters, each corresponding to a different day, the novel proceeds mosaic-like. . . . Everything, both manmade and natural, is connected in Storm&rsquo;s ecosystem; everything that happens has wide-ranging consequences, the butterfly effect in full force.&rdquo; &mdash;Andrew Schenker, The Baffler&ldquo;Unlike anything else out there.&rdquo; &mdash;Stuart Miller, The Orange County Register&ldquo;Viewed through the prisms of climatological, geological, and evolutionary processes, humans are more or less interchangeable, their parochial concerns necessarily banal. This is what Stewart&rsquo;s work conveys at its best: a sense of humility and an appreciation of the contingent status of our own species, endlessly threatened as it is by a relentless, hostile nature. . . Stewart&rsquo;s body of work feels proleptically tailored to an era of catastrophic ecological decline. . . . Storm is a dense web of accidents, a vast orchestral work in which each moving part bespeaks an organic relationship to the whole.&rdquo; &mdash;Matthew Sherrill, Harper&rsquo;s
