Jagannath
(2012) by Karin Tidbeck
"Enter the strange and wonderful world of Swedish sensation Karin Tidbeck
with this feast of darkly fantastical short stories. Whether through
the falsified historical record of the uniquely weird Swedish creature
known as the “Pyret” or the title story, “Jagannath,” about a biological
ark in the far future, Tidbeck’s unique imagination will enthrall,
amuse, and unsettle you. How else to describe a collection that includes
“Cloudberry Jam,” a story that opens with the line “I made you in a tin
can”? Marvels, quirky character studies, and outright surreal
monstrosities await you in the book widely praised by Michael Swanwick,
Ursula K. Le Guin, China Mieville, and Karen Joy Fowler."
