🧵 Nghi Vo’s novella Empress of Salt and Fortune melted me; strikingly original. (Also reminded me, in terms of form, of the underrated classic The Carpet Makers, by Andreas Eschbach.) The rest of her Singing Hills cycle of novellas have also been fun, though I admit none struck me quite as directly as the first.
