Can’t-Wait Wednesday, aka Waiting on Wednesday, is a weekly meme originating from Jill at Breaking the Spine and now hosted by Wishful Endings. If you’re interested in participating, stop by Wishful Endings to link up your posts.
This is one of the most anticipated sf&f collections of recent years. Pinsker has shot like a star across the firmament with stories nominated for multiple awards and Sturgeon and Nebula award wins.
The baker’s dozen stories gathered here (including a new, previously unpublished story) turn readers into travelers to the past, the future, and explorers of the weirder points of the present. The journey is the thing as Pinsker weaves music, memory, technology, history, mystery, love, loss, and even multiple selves on generation ships and cruise ships, on highways and high seas, in murder houses and treehouses. They feature runaways, fiddle-playing astronauts, and retired time travelers; they are weird, wired, hopeful, haunting, and deeply human. They are often described as beautiful but Pinsker also knows that the heart wants what the heart wants and that is not always right, or easy.
Another collection that I’m really looking forward to! Also, isn’t that cover amazing? Love it. Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea comes out March 19th 2019 from Small Beer Press.
This sounds interesting! And I think how much variety there seems to be.
My WOW this week.
It does look good!
Ooh this sounds amazing!!
Right?!
I love Small Beer Press😁 This sounds amazing!
I don’t know if I’ve read anything put out by them before or not but this does look amazing. 🙂
Definitely loving the cover! Sounds good. Hope you love it. 😉
Thanks!
This sounds like a really interesting collection! I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you!
Oooh I haven’t heard of this one before! I’m not the biggest reader of short story collections but it sounds really cool!
Aaaand it’s apparently available for download on Edelweiss SO WHY NOT 😀
Hope you enjoy!
I try to read more shorts then I actually end up reading lol. But I do enjoy them! The good thing is you can spread out a book like this over a long period of time and not feel guilty since they’re all shorts. 🙂
I’m not really one for collections, but I hope you enjoy it! I have to agree though, the cover is pretty 🙂
I really do love the cover. 😀
This sounds interesting. I love checking out new authors via anthologies. Thanks for sharing. 👍✨
You’re welcome!
You’re welcome!
Sounds really good (I just suck at prioritizing short fiction)
Me too, honestly lol. I plan to read a little bit of it at a time. 🙂
Yeah, I’m avoiding short story collections – I’m always so optimistic but they never quite work out for me – or worse, I keep putting off reading them which feels very unfair if I’ve requested a copy. Lovely cover and I hope the content is every bit as good.
Lynn 😀
Thanks, Lynn!
