The National Book Award-winning author takes flight with this bestselling collection of speculative fiction where a woman visits fifteen otherworldly--yet familiar--societies. Sita Dulip has missed her flight. But instead of listening to garbled announcements, she has found a method of bypassing the ho rrors of the airport. This method--changing planes--enables Sita to visit fifteen societies not found on Earth.
