Biopeculiar: Stories of an Uncertain World - Gigi Ganguly

Step into a world where nature refuses to be quiet. Written by the brilliant Gigi Ganguly, Biopeculiar: Stories of an Uncertain World is a breathtaking collection of speculative short stories that expertly blurs the lines between the fantastical and the familiar, the playful and the profoundly disturbing.

Our natural world is changing, and Gigi Ganguly captures this transformation through an enchantingly odd and surreal lens. In this anthology, you will meet a dedicated cloud-herder meticulously gathering his shifting, floating flock as he prepares for his final retirement. Meanwhile, a massive crisis grips the corporate offices of the Weather Department as panic waves spread over the looming retirement of its most extraordinarily talented singer, whose voice literally dictates the climate. Elsewhere, a weary corvid inspector must navigate a ruined reputation and a room full of morose associates while trying to crack an impossibly tough case.

Shot through with a deep, palpable love for the environment, Biopeculiar addresses the ecological crises enveloping our modern planet with rare kindness and sharp emotional resonance. Ganguly roots around in the world we think we know, dredging up ecological truths that often evade our eyes, while pointing a gentle but unwavering finger at the one species responsible for it all. Written in beautifully evocative, lyrical English, this premium softcover edition is a powerful, thought-provoking read that will make you look at the skies, the trees, and the wildlife around you with a completely renewed sense of wonder and urgency.
