Wolf's Path is an excellent volume of short stories and poetry that range all over the spec fic world, from space to alien invaders to tiger demons and ghosts. The narrators are often everyday people grappling with the worlds around them, and the hitches and surprises that a live accumulates. In stories about transformation, Chng explores gender and sexuality, parenting, disability, and East Asian culture with vivid, compelling language. This is an excellent introduction of Chng's work for new readers, and long-time readers will find it full of treats.
'Wolf's Path' is an intricately exciting collection of speculative stories, poetry, and personal essays that flow together with an undercurrent of warmth and thoughtfulness.
I’ve been reading Joyce Chng’s stories for years now, so I knew that this collection was going to be an engaging, deeply human, and a thoroughly badass read. I was not disappointed! Joyce wonderfully creates stories that expand and question perspectives, with characters that can be as sharp as claws and soft as paw pads. They have a way of embedding the fury of injustices within plotlines so that something kinder can grow in their characters. Each story leaves us with catalysts for reflection, growth, and hope.
My favorites were The Sound of Breaking Glass, The Lessons of the Moon, I Found Love in an Urn Full of Ashes, and Saints and Bodhisattvas.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy memorable, speculative stories that are robustly imaginative and edged with a quiet (sometimes feisty!) intensity.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher, Atthis Arts, for the eARC.
