Tainaron by Leena Krohn
A series of luminous, epistolary vignettes in which a thoughtful narrator relocates to a strange city inhabited by insect-like beings and records encounters, customs and encounters with hybrid creatures; the letters weave poetic observation with philosophical reflection on metamorphosis, otherness, language, memory and mortality, creating a melancholic, dreamlike meditation on identity and the porous boundary between human and nonhuman.
