Cards of Grief
by Jane Yolen
Jane Yolen writes a wonderful adult scifi. Is there anything she can’t do?
Through recordings and interviews, this is the story of humans first contact with a planet whose culture revolves around grieving. The study was unfortunately tainted by anthropologist Aaron Spenser, who is under review for Culture Contact Contamination and has gone native.
Through revealing Spenser’s mistakes, the novel must first explain the backstory — beginning as prince B’oremos discovers prodigy griever Lina-Lania and brings her to court to serve the Queen.
A fully immersive novel in which Yolen has created a fascinating new system of politics, grief, relationships, and sexuality. Beautifully written and genuinely fantastic.
