Praise for The Constellation of Forgotten Things
The Constellation of Forgotten Things feels like a mythical text that has existed for centuries — something unearthed rather than written. I was captivated by the relationships between souls, and deeply moved by the larger story that frames the book at its beginning and end. Tiffany and her son, Renley Nicholas Chu, have created a singularly beautiful jewel of a book.
Esmé Weijun Wang, New York Times bestselling author of The Collected Schizophrenias
THE CONSTELLATION OF FORGOTTEN THINGS is a tender collision of melancholy and hope, a heartache in words, filled with tales of forlorn travelers, wayfinding, and journeys unrealized. At its core, this anthology explores the true magic in the connections made between people, the way the stories we write hold shards of our souls laid bare so we may be seen, heard, felt, how stories may change when passed between the remembered and the rememberer, and how they are continued.
Ai Jiang, Hugo Award-nominated author of Linghun
THE CONSTELLATION OF FORGOTTEN THINGS is a candid and compelling exploration of the human condition. Through a distinctive lens, this anthology closely examines different embodiments of kinship, the diverse nuances of loss, and the enduring depths of love. A resonant letter to those seeking home.
Joanne Yi, author of All the Tomorrows After
Brimming with heart, wonder, and a gentle pulse, The Constellation of Forgotten Things is filled with tales of magic, love, and longing. A profound collection that is sure to touch the soul.
Pedro Iniguez, Bram Stoker Award winner, and author of Echoes and Embers: Speculative Stories
THE CONSTELLATION OF FORGOTTEN THINGS hooks you right from the introduction. You can tell from the beginning that it’s a truly heartfelt piece of work, unique from any other. I particularly enjoyed how there were shorter pieces as well as longer ones, and the shorter pieces create an evocative space within themselves—they’re like small snippets of poetic art that shows you just how honest and heartfelt this piece of work is. This is definitely worth the read!
