The Way Spring Arrives and Other Stories

About

Chinese science fiction and fantasy stories written, edited, and translated entirely by a female and nonbinary team — all appearing in English for the first time. The collection spans the richly complicated past and the vivid future of Chinese speculative fiction, gathering voices that have been doing extraordinary work with too little international recognition. These stories represent a deliberate intervention: a showcase for the writers and translators whom the existing anthologies have overlooked, working in traditions that are both distinctly Chinese and impossible to reduce to a single national style. A collection that changes who you think of when you think of Chinese speculative fiction — and makes you wonder who else you've been missing.
