The Melancholy of Mechagirl (Original)
Catherynne M. Valente
(Author)
Description
Science fiction and fantasy stories about Japan by the multiple-award winning author and New York Times best seller Catherynne M. Valente. A woman who dreams of machines. A paper lantern that falls in love. The most compelling video game you've never played and that nobody can ever play twice. This collection of Catherynne M. Valente's stories and poems with Japanese themes includes the lauded novella "Silently and Very Fast," the award-nominated "Thirteen Ways of Looking at Space/Time," and "Ghosts of Gunkanjima"--which originally appeared in a book smaller than your palm, published in a limited edition of twenty-four. Also included are two new stories: the semiautobiographical, metafictional, and utterly magical "Ink, Water, Milk" and the cinematic, demon-haunted "Story No. 6."
