REGISTER HERE: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwuduGsrjIoHNSCfhpks60NuDXETiH8uljh On Fragile Waves is the haunting story of a family of dreamers looking for home in an unwelcoming world. Firuzeh and her brother Nour are children of fire, born in an Afghanistan fractured by war. When their parents decide to leave, they spin fairy tales of their destination, the mythical land and opportunities of Australia. As the family journeys, they must rely on fragile and temporary shelters, strangers both mercenary and kind, and friends who vanish as quickly as they’re found. This exquisite magic realist debut traces one girl’s migration from war to peace, loss to loss, home to home. E. LILY YU is a writer and narrative designer whose fiction has appeared in places such as McSweeney's, Boston Review, Clarkesworld, F&SF, and The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year. |
