The Paper Menagerie is first title in Short Stops, a new series from Conversation Tree Press dedicated to bringing exceptional shorter works of fiction to life through beautifully bound, letterpress-printed, limited editions that begin shipping immediately upon announcement.

Ken Liu’s The Paper Menagerie is a deeply moving exploration of cultural identity, belonging, and love. It tells the story of a biracial boy torn between his American upbringing and his Chinese heritage, embodied by the magical origami animals his immigrant mother brings to life. A poignant tale, and the only short story to win the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards, it offers readers a reflection on family, belonging, and the threads that connect us across generations.

It is a limited edition of 300 unnumbered copies, letterpress printed by Hand & Eye Letterpress in London, England. It features a frontispiece illustration by Scott McKowen, also printed via letterpress.

All copies are signed by Ken Liu and Scott McKowen.
