This story concerns a Baghdad merchant. Mr. Chiang says the story was inspired in part by the work of physicist Kip Thorne. (forward in the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction)

Review of "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Stories of your life and others (Ted Chiang's other book) is one of my favourite books ever, and I'm sure that influenced my expectations for this new story. While it's an excellent story, it just didn't seem to be up to what I had hoped for. Don't let me stop you from reading it though, it is excellent, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Anything Ted Chiang writes is not to be missed.
