Another surreal G.N. Yang read that conveys a lot about social and familial pressures. A young man works through grief complicated by his father’s expectations about his future as a doctor which conflicts with his love of gaming. I wouldn’t say I loved this, but I didn’t dislike it either. It was interesting, and I liked the coloring style.
