Thyme Travellers Summary

Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction by Sonia Sulaiman

Thyme Travellerscollects fourteen of the Palestinian diasporas best voices in speculative fiction. Speculative fiction as a genre invites a reconfiguring of reality, and here each story is a portal into realms of history, folklore and futures. A man stands on the shore waiting to commune with those who live in the ocean. Pilgrims stretch into the distance, passing a stone cairn with a mysterious light streaming from it. Two Australian women fervently dig a tunnel to Jerusalem. Men from Gaza swim in the sea until they drown, still unconcerned. A father and son struggle to connect over the AI scripts prompting their conversation. Building on the work of trailblazing anthologies such asReworlding RamallahandPalestine +100, this volume is the first of its kind in Canada. Editor Sonia Sulaiman brings together stories by speculative fiction veterans and emerging writers from Australia to Egypt, Lebanon to Canada.

Thyme Travellers Reviews

Within this beautiful, heartbreaking, inspiring book youll find some of the best speculative fiction Ive read in years. Every story is alive, a living breathing thing, and they have collectively stayed with me since I read them and will for many years to come. Simply magnificent. - Daniel Jose Older,New York Timesbestselling author ofBallad & Daggerand story architect ofStar Wars: The High Republic; This is a collection of astonishingly brave, imaginative, and unapologetic stories that neither compromise on the integrity of their origin nor pander to a myopic audience. Reading this melancholy folklore of oppression and exile of an inheritance of pain and countless loves dared and loststunned me and moved me to tears over and over. May these tales shatter the walls of every prison the world imposes upon them. - Usman T. Malik, World Fantasy Awardwinning author ofMidnight Doorways: Fables from Pakistan
