The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories, my first collection (in English, that is, I’ve had foreign language collections) is coming out from Saga Press on November 3, 2015.

Quite a cover, right? I think it looks beautiful. I’m really grateful to Joe Monti at Saga Press for making this happen.

The full table of contents:

• Preface
• The Bookmaking Habits of Select Species
• State Change
• The Perfect Match
• Good Hunting
• The Literomancer
• Simulacrum
• The Regular
• The Paper Menagerie
• An Advanced Readers Picture Book of Comparative Cognition (unpublished)
• The Waves
• Mono no aware
• All the Flavors
• A Brief History of the Trans-Pacific Tunnel
• The Litigation Master and the Monkey King
• The Man Who Ended History: A Documentary

And though it’s early, you can already pre-order the book from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or other fine bookstores.

Finally, you can read about the thinking behind this collection on The Barnes and Noble Science Fiction and Fantasy blog.

Every awards season, I do one post to recommend other people’s stories and list out my own eligible work. You can find this year’s iteration here.

It’s important for everyone to recommend stories they enjoyed; it’s the best way to make sure good work is recognized. It’s also important for writers to promote their own work; it’s the only way for others to find out what they’ve done.
