The Memory Museum: StoriesStretching from the present day to the near future, from China to America and beyond, M Lins piercing and melodious debut captures the spirit of Chinas One Child Generation as its characters navigate homes and cultures, hopes and contradictions, survival and resistance. These frank, tender, and playful stories offer profound insight into the ambivalence of migration, the perverse ways race and class can operate, and what it means to be Chinese today.

and a deep exploration of our shared humanity in a way only Richard Powers can

The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years

like a thousand invisible mosquito bites
