A review by 2000s
A Good Fall by Ha Jin

4.25

A pretty decent short story collection. None of the stories felt super world-changing since they were pretty plain and conventional, and there were a few that just fell totally flat, but overall I enjoyed them. I feel like they were accessible and simple without being too boring. Pacing was great throughout, every story worked great in the short story format. Favorites were “A Composer and His Parakeet,” “Choice,” “The House Behind a Weeping Cherry,” and the titular story.
