While I enjoyed the stories, I especially appreciated the essays as they provided so much insight on cultural and gender concerns in Chinese writing and translation. I'd love to see more of that kind of writing from other cultures as well.
bodiesinbooks's review against another edition
Short stories is not the right format for me at the moment as I have limited time to read and need to be pulled along by a story. I probably would have finished eventually if it wasn't due back at the library before I could finish.
