Story of Your Life
TED CHIANG
Ted Chiang has only published three SF stories prior to this one and his first, “Tower of Babylon”(1990),
won the Nebula Award; another (“Understand”) won the Asimov's Readers Award in 1991, and he won the
John W.Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1992. He is a careful and accomplished writer, and his
work is distinguished by originality combined with the high quality of his re-imaging of old SF ideas. This is
his fourth published story, his first in more than five years (he seems to have a satisfying life in the Seattle

anthologies, this novella helped Starlight 2 (which contained both fantasy and SF stories) stand out.

make a baby?”
Right now your dad and I have been married for about two years, living on Ellis Avenue; when we move
out you'll still be too young to remember the house, but we'll show you pictures of it, tell you stories about
it. I'd love to tell you the story of this evening, the night you're conceived, but t
