"Charlie Jane Anders is ridiculously brilliant." --Rachel Swirsky,
Locus Praise for All the Birds in the Sky "The very short list of
novels that dare to traffic as freely in the uncanny and wondrous
as in big ideas--I think of masterpieces like The Lathe of Heaven;
Cloud Atlas; Little, Big--has just been extended by one."--Michael
Chabon "Genius."--Margaret Cho "A glorious synthesis of magic and
technology, joy and sorrow, romance and wisdom. Unmissable."--Lev
Grossman, author of The Magicians "As hopeful as it is
hilarious...Highly recommended."--N. K. Jemisin, The New York Times
Book Review "Charlie Jane Anders has entwined strands of science
and fantasy...into a luminous novel that reveals the exhilarating
necessity of each."--John Hodgman, author of The Areas of My
Expertise
"An instant classic....Like the work of other 21st century
writers--Kelly Link and Lev Grossman come immediately to mind--All
the Birds in the Sky serves as both a celebration of and corrective
to the standard tropes of genre fiction." --Elizabeth Hand, Los
Angeles Times "Everything you could ask for in a debut novel--a
fresh look at science fiction's most cherished memes, ruthlessly
shredded and lovingly reassembled." --Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
"Imagine that Diana Wynne Jones, Douglas Coupland and Neil Gaiman
walk into a bar and through some weird fusion of magic and science
have a baby. That offspring is Charlie Jane Anders' lyrical debut
novel All the Birds in the Sky." --Independent "The scenario is
(almost) Harry Potter, the tone is (quite like) Kurt Vonnegut, the
effect is entirely original." --The Wall Street Journal
