Renley Nicholas Chu

I love reading short story collections and there are so rarely good ones around anymore -- appreciation for the ability to tell a tale in few words is not lacking here.

I was very moved by the foreward/intro where we learn the story behind this collection. I feel as though Tiffany Chu has shared a slice of her heart with us, and a slice of Renley's heart as well. The imagery is gorgeous, and the writing very good, but knowing the story beneath the story, here, was incredibly poignant.

When I requested the ARC on LibraryThing, I saw it was a collection of short stories/essays and was thrilled. I write in fractured essays as well and there aren’t enough out there! I really enjoyed this one. I don’t want to spoil but the imagery was thorough and the concepts were intriguing. Thanks!
