That We May Live by Dorothy Tse, Enoch Tam, Chan Chi Wa, Zhu Hui, Yan Ge, Chen Si'an

5.0

It's always neat to be exposed to new cultures in translation and this is no exception. Calico, the new series from Two Lines, is off to an amazing start with THAT WE MAY LIVE -- a strange spin on temp work, stories of a city where its alphabetical districts have strange features like mushroom houses, an eerie fermented beverage that gives new meaning to "with the Mother", and more. I didn't love every story and found a few translation moments to be clunky, but on the whole this is a killer start to what will hopefully be a must-read series from Two Lines.
