Happy Stories, Mostly by Norman Erikson Pasaribu

reflective medium-paced

2.0

I feel like I'm lacking some of the cultural context necessary to fully appreciate some of the themes here (the Q&A helped with this, but only a little). That said, I still found some of these stories quite affecting. They have a delicate melancholy to them, sort of a wistfulness. The longer stories are more developed while the shorter ones read like poems, almost.
