Swing by for a special night with one of the country\u2019s most prominent science fiction writers, Ted Chiang, the winner of four Locus awards, four Nebula awards, four Hugo Awards, and the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.<\/p>\n
\u201cTed Chiang is so exhilarating so original so stylish he just leaves you speechless,\u201d Junot D\u00edaz writes. Chiang\u2019s story often explore a specific throught-question–for example, ascending the tower of Babylon to reach heaven or interpreting an utterly alien language–in a way that\u2019s both philosophical and human. This event celebrates the reprinting of his short story collection, Stories of Your Life and Others (Vintage 2016), which includes the Nebula Award-winning “Tower of Babylon” and a new story, “Liking What You See: A Documentary.\u201d The book will soon be made into a major motion picture from Paramount Pictures starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker.<\/p>\n
