A surprising and exciting new collection of speculative and experimental stories that explore animal intelligences, gender and the nature of stories. The Privilege of the Happy Ending collects award-winning writer Kij Johnson's speculative fiction from the last decade. The stories explore gender, animals and the nature of stories, and range in form from classically told tales to deeply experimental works. The collection includes the World Fantasy Award-winning "The Privilege of the Happy Ending" and "The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe," as well as two never-before published works.
