We, The Survivors by Tash Aw
3.0
challenging dark reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated

Written as an interview some time after the events at the centre of the novel, this was an interesting format to explore the ways one man climbs a difficult ladder and the things he becomes willing to do to avoid slipping down even a single rung. Enjoyed insight into a new culture, and it was wonderfully nuanced in that regard, but just didn't connect enough to move beyond three stars.
