Why hasn’t Yoon Ha Lee won all the awards? His writing is always smart, inventive, and above all compelling—everything you want Science Fiction to be. This story, about making maps through the darkest of spaces, is just one example, and especially apropos given everything going on in the world right now.
This story, Yoon. It’s so beautiful.
I do so love that line "The map is its own reward!" A gorgeous, glimmering story.
I did not expect the turn it would take at the end -- but I love it!
