Kaimere is a distant planet much like Earth, but with an ecosystem influenced by waves of life taken from our world and introduced to the native magic. This magic is diverse and chaotic, taking the form of calculating forest spirit Indrakai in Trickster's Gambit, the essence of luck that aids Argunite in Koban's Menagerie, or a malicious demon that hunts the protagonists of Spider's Prey. This book includes the four short stories of the paperback edition, and also a hardcover exclusive, Drowned in Water and Blood, which follows Nasiri the Hunter. Each story can be experienced independently, or read in sequence. However you choose, please enjoy this introduction to Kaimere: a realm of wonder, danger, and magic.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
