What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi is a collection of stories linked by the exquisitely winding prose of the author. The ensemble cast of characters slips from the pages of their own stories to surface in another. The stories explore lost libraries, locked gardens, marshlands with drowned dead, a city where clocks have stopped, puppet schools, guerrilla book-swaps, and more. Helen Oyeyemi weaves a world of towering imagination, marked by baroque beauty and deep sensuousness.
