When you first wrote about Ted Chiang, I went looking for his books, and found it hard to get a hold of them. I think maybe his collection of stories had been published by a small press, and was out-of-print and hence expensive.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, seeing this post I went looking, and both this story and his earlier anthology are now available as Kindle books at reasonable prices. Just a note for other readers.
Thanks Will!
ReplyDeleteI listened up to the spoiler section and was inspired to stop and download this for Kindle. It sounds like a very interesting read. Also, I need to download Jane Eyre. I may not get to these till after Easter but I am definitely looking forward to reading them (and listening to you all talk about them).
