[STARRED REVIEW] "A commanding short story collection, Caribbean Canadian Nalo Hopkinson's Jamaica Ginger and Other Concoctions blends ecological awareness, cultural heritage, and fantastical happenings."
--Foreword Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as having "an imagination that most of us would kill for," Nalo Hopkinson and her Afro-Caribbean, Canadian, and American influences shine in truly unique stories that are gorgeously strange, inventively subversive, and vividly beautiful. In Hopkinson's first collection of stories since 2015, a woman and her cyborg pig eke out a living in a future waterworld; two scientists contemplate the cavernous remains of an alien life-form; and an artist creates nanotechnology that asserts Blackness where it is least welcome.
