"Urchins, While Swimming," by Catherynne M. Valente
"Urchins, While Swimming"
by Catherynne M. Valente
Published by Clarkesworld Magazine, "Urchins, While Swimming" is a lovely, melancholy short story based around the Russian myth of rusalka. I didn't quite understand a crucial plot turning point, but I accepted it--by then I was too caught up in the story to care. Valente's prose makes me yearn for more than just this taste; hopefully my Clarkesworld Books order comes in soon, because I have her poetry collection in there. I will definitely be reading The Orphan's Tales as soon as I have a free moment to savor it (and at least until after I finish reading my small borrowed-from-friends pile).
"Urchins, While Swimming" is free, too, so go read it!
