The Way Spring Arrives and Other Stories cover reveal

We’re thrilled to reveal the cover of The Way Spring Arrives and Other Stories, a collection of Chinese science fiction and fantasy in translation, edited by Yu Chen and Regina Kanyu Wang—forthcoming in March 2022 from Tordotcom Publishing.

From an award-winning team of authors, editors, and translators comes a groundbreaking new short story collection that explores the expanse of Chinese science fiction and fantasy.

In The Way Spring Arrives and Other Stories, you can dine at a restaurant at the end of the universe, cultivate to immortality in the high mountains, watch roses perform Shakespeare, or arrive at the island of the gods on the backs of giant fish to ensure that the world can bloom.

Written, edited, and translated by a female and nonbinary team, these stories have never before been published in English and represent both the richly complicated past and the vivid future of Chinese science fiction and fantasy.

Time travel to a winter’s day on the West Lake, explore the very boundaries of death itself, and meet old gods and new heroes in this stunning new collection.
