Self-Portrait with Ghost by Meng Jin

Abandoned at 37%. Maybe I’m not in the right headspace for short stories like this right now, or maybe it’s that I’m listening rather than reading that makes it slippery in my mind, but I can’t follow a single one of these stories.

had difficulty with this audiobook being read by one narrator and not realizing when a new story started.

I won this ARC in a goodreads giveaway!

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories.  Most of them were pretty dark and mildly ominous which I really liked. There wasn't a single story that I didn't like. I think my favorites were First Love and Selena and Ruthie. I highly recommend it.
