This collection of short stories and poems by Ada Hoffmann traverses extraordinary universes packed with faeries, cyborgs, talking otters, punitive gods, lovestruck sea creatures, fossil hunters, extraterrestrials, and much more. Exploring themes of love and self-existence, community and otherness, and perseverance, Resurrections is a wondrous blend of genres and literary forms.

In Jenny's House, a young girl brings a slimy souvenir from a playdate gone wrong to show-and-tell. Variations on a Theme from Turandot is the story of a devout slave's struggle with a stubborn, ruthless princess, replayed as an epic opera every night. In Transitional Chords, an unmotivated conservatory student finally connects with music when he falls victim to an otherworldly voice. Harmony Amid the Stars chronicles a spaceship's inhabitants' descent into madness through a cleaning lady's diary. I Sing Against the Silent Sun is about the unbreakable bond between a fugitive and his ship's AI.

Each universe contains an intricately crafted history, cast of characters, places, and paradoxes. From layered magical realms to beauty supply storerooms, Hoffmann brings often-overlooked characters and perspectives to life and lets their unfettered reality expand our imaginations. Resurrections is a glimpse into the spectrum of human existence, flitting from world to world in Hoffmann's spectacular style.

A stellar collection. Ada Hoffmann's stories are vivid and transporting.
