Think I can officially say I’m a Ling Ma fan. This collection left me feeling confused, anxious, thoughtful, hopeful, and disappointed all at once. You can tell these stories are very personal to Ma, which I appreciate. Each story does end pretty abruptly, but I didn’t mind it. If you don’t enjoy open endings and surrealism, this may not be for you. My favorites were Los Angeles, G, and Office Hours. Will definitely be thinking on these stories for a while.
