Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang

5.0

SOOOO GOOD! Sought out these short stories because I liked the movie Arrival so much and found out that it's based on Stories of Your Life. I'm not normally a short stories kind of gal, but each of Ted Chiang's works are so engaging and vividly described. The stories are vaguely sci fi; most take place in our ordinary world with some interesting development. You can easily read a story in one sitting, but they're a good length, on average 50-70 pages? Though not really a mystery writer, Chiang writes his plots in a way that makes you desperate to turn the page and discover what's happening below the surface of the story, as there is always some unseen twist!
