ReviewsPraise for Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea "Compelling science fiction and fantasy stories, many featuring LGBTQIA characters, some about music. Anyone with a common name will appreciate this collection's culminating story, 'And Then There Were(N-One).'" -- Jim Higgins, Milwaukee Journal Sentinal, Best Books of 2019 "When I got to the last page I was already looking forward to rereading them. Highly recommended."-- Charles de Lint, The Magazine Of Fantasy and Science Fiction "Compelling science fiction and fantasy." -- Des Moines Register "Sarah Pinsker's debut short story collection is speculative andstrange, exploring such wide-ranging scenarios as a young man receiving aprosthetic arm with its own sense of identity, a family welcoming an AIreplicate of their late Bubbe into their home, or an 18th centuryseaport town trying to survive a visit by a pair of sirens -- all whileconnecting them in a book that feels cohesive. The stories areinsightful, funny, and imaginative, diving into the ways humans mightinvite technology into their relationships." -- Arianna Rebolini, BuzzFeed "This was my first time reading Pinsker, and she BLEW MY MIND. . . .These 13 stories are wildly original and, frankly, jaw-dropping. A man'snew prosthetic arm dreams that it is a road in Colorado; the dreamchildren of childless parents sun themselves on the rocks like seals; arock star washes up on an island, where she is rescued by a recluse. So.Many. Amazing. Stories. My favorite might be the last story, in which abunch of Sarah Pinskers attend a writer's conference, where one of themis murdered. Every story was unlike anything I had read before, as wellas smart and fun, which is everything I want from a story collection.RUN, DON'T WALK." --Liberty Hardy, Bookriot "Sooner or Later Everything Falls Into the Sea cannot berecommended enough for fans of LGBT+ sci-fi and fantasy. Pinsker'scollection has such a range and depth to it storytelling and emotionalresonance that the reader will be left in complete awe after reading anychosen story."-- Alexander Carrigan, Lambda Literary "One of the year's most anticipated collections is even better than advertised." -- Joe Sherrry, Nerds of a Feather "A must-have first collection." -- Rich Horton, Locus "A voice resonant with feeling and desire." -- Gary K. Wolfe, Locus "This collection from an exciting new voice in speculative fiction is both haunting and hopeful." -- Booklist (starred review) "This beautiful, complex debut collection assembles some of Nebula winner Pinsker's best stories into a twisting journey that is by turns wild, melancholic, and unsettling." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A collection whose musing visions none should try to resist." -- Foreword Reviews (starred review), Reviews "This remarkable collection of 12 speculative shorts from Pinsker (Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea)places celebrated favorites and hidden gems side by side. The volume isnearly bookended by two of the author's best known and most laudedworks: the deliciously unsettling opener "Two Truths and a Lie" and theformally playful penultimate tale "Where Oaken Hearts Do Gather," bothof which won both Hugo and Nebula awards." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Praise for Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea "Compelling science fiction and fantasy stories, many featuring LGBTQIA characters, some about music.

SynopsisA new collection from the author of Nebula Award winning A Song for a New Day and Philip K Dick Award winning Sooner or Later Everything Falls Into the Sea. A half-remembered children's TV show. A hotel that shouldn't exist. A mysterious ballad. A living flag. Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author Sarah Pinsker's second collection brings together a seemingly eclectic group of stories that unite behind certain themes: her touchstones of music and memory are joined by stories about secret subversions and hidden messages in art. Her stories span and transcend genre labels, looking for the truth in strange situations from possible futures to impossible pasts.
