Thought this was non-fiction honestly going in, so the magical realism took me by surprise. Still a wonderful collection of short stories but not what I expected going in. Everything that you want in a short story collection, friendly, likeable characters, characters that you hate and characters that frustrate you to no end. Hotline Girl, New Fruit, Flying Machine, Land of Big Numbers and Gubeikou Spirit were my favorites, maybe Gubeikou Spirit the best in the book.
