Exhalation goodreads5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The collection begins with a strange time-travel tale set in the Middle east. What I also loved about this collection is the “story notes” at the end, which goes story by story to explain where he received the idea for it and why he chose to execute it that way. If you have never read him before, then be prepared to have your perspective warped by huge mind-splitting perceptions. I do have his previous collection, but have yet to read it cover to cover after reading the utterly soul crushing title story, “Story of Your Life”.ĮXHALATION is exactly what you expect from Chiang. Ever since EXHALATION was released, I was chomping at the bit to read it, since while I could go elsewhere to read these stories, having a condensed book of just him, is so much more appealing, plus the two last stories in the collection were completely new. He may even be my all time favorite short story writer. Ted Chiang is one of my all time favorite living writers of science fiction. ![]()
