Notes

A novel in (somewhat) linked stories. The book is credited as the author's first novel but it is a fix-up novel and is closer to a collection than a novel. It is added here as a collection to allow the separate stories to have their own records (as at least one of them (Dragoi) is longlisted for an award).

The book is credited as the author's first novel but it is a fix-up novel and is closer to a collection than a novel. It is added here as a collection to allow the separate stories to have their own records (as at least one of them is longlisted for an award). "Maya" is presented as a hand-written 1 page story by a child. The rest of the stories are split into two separate sections: "One: The Thimble Factory" (starting on page 9) and "Two: The Night Police" (starting on page 115). First Edition stated on the copyright page; no numberline; first printing assumed. C$19.99 on the back cover. Printed in Canada. Listed in Locus Magazine #680.
