The Paper Menagerie

Ken Liu, the popular Chinese-American writer and triple Hugo Award winner, as well as other awards and honors, presents the short story collection “The Paper Menagerie.” In this collection, the past meets the future: the mythology of Ancient China grows into the realities of the modern world; gods step out of worn manuscripts to help ordinary people in trouble; and the hero can be anyone who recognizes their responsibility to their contemporaries and who hasn’t lost a sense of decency. Dangerous space journeys and the wise advice of the Monkey King, a belief that can move mountains, and an omission that leads to the genocide of hundreds of thousands of lives—the creative range of Ken Liu is astonishing!
