The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories

4.5*

“A kitten's tongue tickles the inside of my heart.”

You all know that feeling, yes?

This is a gorgeous short story collection. In fact, I loved it so much I'm considering giving Ken Liu's full length novels a go as well.

Short stories are so much detail and meaning and a ton of unsaid things being louder than the written word... all in very compact packages. I wish it wasn't a library loan so I could put it on my shelf and return to it in a couple of months and reread the last couple of stories to better enjoy them.

Nevertheless, I really loved State Change, Good Hunting and Paper Menagerie.
