2014 Hugo Awards: Three Short Stories by Benjanun Sriduangkaew

Three short stories by Benjanun Sriduangkaew

Started 2014-06-02 / Finished 2014-06-03

 

  •  The Bees Her Heart, the Hive Her Belly
    • Too odd for me. Interesting, but very strange. I was half-way or more through the story before anything at all made sense.
  •  Fade to Gold
    • Better than the “The Bees Her Heart…”, possibly because because I had at least a vague idea of what a krasue is.  Interesting to see non-western mythology in a modern story.
  •  Silent Bridge, Pale Cascade
    • Much better than the other two. And unlike Lives of Tao this one ended just before what would usually be the climax. Not as bizarre as Bees Her Heart but set in the same world. This one might have been helped by the smidgen of understanding of that world that I gained from the other story.
