Ahh... That was a weird one. Whoever controls the narrative controls the world. Stories hold power, especially in times of great change and transformation.

I have the edition with The Beauty and the authors other short story Peace, Pipe.
The Beauty was a weird little short story that I think did a fun job of viewing the domestic relationship of men and women and a little role reversal moment.
Peace, Pipe was a somewhat sad reflective story of a man dealing with grief and failure and solitude.
Both good reads :)

The Beauty is one of those stories that disturbs by what it says, and by what it could be saying. Peace, Pipe is a beautiful (in that way dark things can be) piece of speculative fiction about communication, about humanity, about the absurdity of looking for meaning when it's we who make our own meaning.
