I previously had no experience with Chinese literature, let alone by Chinese women and non-binary persons. This was an awesome exploration of fiction and essays that by the end inspired me to think about what cultural connections bubbles beneath the purpose and how the art of translation is as much a part of the message as the original language. My main complaint is I wish it were longer!
