Falling in Love with Hominids

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this collection of stories, "Hopkinson continues to expand the boundaries of culture and imagination. Whether she is retelling The Tempest as a new Caribbean myth, filling a shopping mall with unfulfilled ghosts, or herding chickens that occasionally breathe fire, Hopkinson continues to create ... fiction that transcends boundaries and borders"--Page 4 of cover.
