Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author Sarah Pinsker's second collection brings together twelve stories about musicians, artists, aliens, librarians, and childhood secrets. Navigating possible futures and impossible pasts, the characters and communities in Lost Places work to bring to light hidden messages, lost routes and television shows, last chances and glimmers of hope in uncanny situations.
Includes "Science Facts!," published here for the first time.
"Queer, hopeful, and eerie." - Booklist (starred review)
"This remarkable collection.... places celebrated favorites and hidden gems side by side, ... bookended by two of the author's best known and most lauded works: the deliciously unsettling opener 'Two Truths and a Lie' and the formally playful penultimate tale 'Where Oaken Hearts Do Gather, both of which won both Hugo and Nebula awards. Perhaps even more exciting, however, are the pieces that received less fanfare upon original publication, like 'I Frequently Hear Music in the Very Heart of Noise,' a lyrical collage that gathers musicians and writers from different eras in New York City and brings them together for a single ecstatic night, and 'Remember This for Me,' a poignant tale of an artist whose muse is faithful even if her memory isn't. The collection closes with a thrilling original novelette
'Science Facts!' about a backpacking trip that grows increasingly disquieting. The result is sure to beguile." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)”
