Land of Big Numbers: Stories by Te-Ping Chen

3.25

Some stories definitely were more impactful than others for me. My standouts were Field Notes on a Marriage, On the Street Where You Live, and Gubeikou Spirit. I think it’s because those were the ones that best translated the crushing loneliness of being abandoned in one way or another. A lot of the stories reminded me of the movie Still Life, so if you like that kind of atmosphere then I think you’d like these stories.
