    "description": "<p>Divided into &ldquo;Tender Bodies&rdquo; and &ldquo;Tender Landscapes,&rdquo; the stories collected here in this first collection of short fiction from a rising star travel from the commonplace to the edges of reality. Some of Samatar&rsquo;s weird and compassionate fabulations spring from her life and literary studies; some spring from the world, some from the void. <em>Tender</em> explores the fragility of bodies, emotions, and landscapes, in settings that range from medieval Egypt to colonial Kenya to the stars, and the voices of those who question: children, students, servants, researchers, writers.</p>\n<p><em>Tender</em> includes two new stories, &ldquo;An Account of the Land of Witches&rdquo; and the Nommo Award shortlisted &ldquo;Fallow.&rdquo;</p>",
