pogostick 's review for:

Bliss Montage by Ling Ma
5.0

simply wonderful, so self aware and spoke to me in many ways, i love Ling Ma’s mind she really just gets it! bc like woah she's so right when she says "it is in the most surreal situations that a person feels the most present, the closest to reality" and "I think less about the beginning than about the end, which is where all my feelings have now pooled, having rolled downward toward the inevitable outcome" and "an ideology defined only by what it opposes is doomed to be defined by that exact thing" etc etc each short story just kept getting better than the last, i can’t wait to read a full length novel of hers
