There's really no one who can beat the intricacy of Mary H. K. Choi's language. Her writing oozes intelligence, and her details are always microscopically specific. She weaves together a story so tightly wound that, when it finally unravels, it feels like a breath of fresh air. She humanizes her characters so fully, and when they do things that surprise you, it turns out to be exactly in line with who they are. An excellent read.
