Broken Stars: Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction in Translation by Ken Liu

4.0

I don't read a lot of Chinese science-fiction, and this collection definitely made me want to read more. The stories were all quite different, and each one had its own intriguing aspects. My favorites were probably the stories that had particularly interesting manipulations of time. I'm grateful to Liu for translating. I definitely appreciated the footnotes. In fact, I would have liked twice as many footnotes, as often I could tell I was missing some cultural context.
