Publisher's Summary

Otherworldly interference in real-world New York City? Or delusions? For the answer, follow two loving strangers in an astonishing short story of faith and hope by a World Fantasy Award winner.

Grimace is a homeless man on a holy mission to free Black Americans from emotional slavery. His empty soda cans told him as much. Then he meets Kim, a transgender runaway who joins Grimace on his heroic quest. Is Grimace receiving aluminum missives from the gods, or is he a madman? Kim will find out soon enough on a strange journey they’ve been destined to share.

Victor LaValle’s We Travel the Spaceways is part of Black Stars, a multi-dimensional collection of speculative fiction from Black authors. Each story is a world much like our own. Read or listen to them in a single sitting.

A Great Short Story!

We Travel the Spaceways (Black Stars #6) follows a homeless Black man who gets instructions about how to free African Americans from spiritual enslavement from beings speaking to him through empty soda bottles. One night he meets his soulmate Kim, also an outcast of society. And so begins their journey to discovering themselves and each other.

This is a love letter to New York City and the outcasts in the world. This was such a tender and expressive story - one that I am glad rounded out the short story collection. The narration was so well done and I am so glad I found this on Audible!
