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 origina-
lity 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 area that leaves him little time for SF writing). It is the
longest story in this book and may well be the best. The theme of communicating with aliens was prominent in the SF
fiction of 1998, but nowhere better done than here. It appeared in Starlight 2. In a year that was not notable for many
strong original SF anthologies, this novella helped Starlight 2 (which contained both fantasy and SF stories) stand out.

We came out onto the patio to look at the full moon; then I told your dad I wanted to dance, so he humors me and
now we're slow-dancing, a pair of thirtysomethings swaying back and forth in the moon-light like kids. I don't feel the
night chill at all. And then your dad says, “Do you want to 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 the right time to do that would be when you're ready to
have children of your own, and we'll ne
