Books - Futures to Live By

by Ana Sun
		POLESTARS 12 A series of single author collections by outstanding writers. The Polestar, or North Star, is defined as the brightest star in Ursa Minor; since every author chosen for this series is a star in their own right, Polestars provides the ideal banner under which to unite such outstanding works. Now resident in the UK, Ana Sun has lived in various parts of the world, having spent her childhood in Malaysian Borneo and grown up on islands.  Ana Sun is fast making a name for herself, her unique voice instilling solarpunk with fresh vitality. Inspired by her passion for nature, water, and community, Ana's work has featured on award shortlists and in Year’s Best anthologies. We are thrilled to be presenting this, her debut collection: a selection of deftly told near-future fictions that explore how we might adapt to climate change and other challenges, showcasing the author's ability to craft tales of hope from even the darkest of circumstance. “The stories featured here should be landmarks of fiction when we think about the positive impact literature can have in our lives. This is the kind of book that should be used in schools and universities to study the futures we are striving for. Ana’s writing is exquisitely beautiful and perfectly navigates solarpunk and climate fiction, from the fears and anxieties of our times to the hopes and credible solutions of a desirable future. Extremely recommended reading!”  – Renan Bernardo, Nebula and Ignyte Awards finalist “Whether they’re voting about the renovation of an old military fort, jumping through time and between dimensions, or mediating a conflict between birds, Ana Sun’s characters gracefully navigate the challenges of climate change and sustainable living, balancing grief and loss with courage and hope.”  – Sarena Ulibarri, Utopia Award Winner  “These stories are compelling, thought-provoking and deeply human. Importantly, they are infused with hope; the dream of a brighter future. Ana Sun is a writer to watch.”  – Teika Marija Smits, British Fantasy Award winner Contents Writing Futures to Live By: An Introduction                          Shadow Among the Leaves                                        Dandelion Brew                                                  The Perpetual Metamorphosis of Primrose Close          La bibliotheque d’objets quotidiens                              The City Walks Through Me                              Soul Noodles                              Where the Garden Grows                         The Scent of Green                                            Night Fowls                                                        Anatomy of Emotion – the Carving of Chance – Seize the Moon Emily’s Farewell Coat                                       Coriander                                                            Safe Haven for the Lost and Found                      About the Author               Available as a paperback, a special hardback edition limited to just 50 copies - each individually numbered and signed by the author - and as an eBook
