Penn's Village Reads: The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu
"The Paper Menagerie" was published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in 2011 and is the first work of fiction to sweep the Hugo, Nebula and World Fantasy awards, the world’s top science fiction prizes.
Jack, a little boy from Connecticut, enjoys playing with origami animals that his Chinese mother makes for him and that come to life when she blows into them. After a family tragedy takes place, Jack finds a message from his mother in one of the origami animals and learns about her past.
“I have never been so moved by a collection of short fiction,” book critic Amal El-Mohtar proclaimed of Liu’s work in a 2016 review on NPR.
Reader Yvonne Novak is a change management consultant who has been a Penn’s Village volunteer since 2016. She is visually impaired, and does most of her reading via audiobooks she gets from the Free Library using the Overdrive app.
