You may dine at a restaurant at the end of the universe, cultivate immortality in the high mountains, watch flowers recite Shakespeare, or arrive at the island of the gods on the backs of huge fish to ensure that the world can blossom in The Way Spring Arrives and Other Stories.
These stories have never been published in English before and represent both the profoundly convoluted past and the colorful future of Chinese science fiction and fantasy. They were written, edited, and translated by a female and nonbinary team.
In this breathtaking new collection, journey back in time to a winter’s day on the West Lake, explore the absolute limits of death and meet old gods and new heroes.
