Oh My Mother!: A Memoir in Nine Adventures by Connie Wang

3.0

i really enjoyed the literal writing, though i agree with some commenters that the actual mother figure disappears quite a bit. but in the intro, connie does say her mother feels herself to be rather boring, so i feel like it matches that idea — the smaller moments that aren’t as literary or complicated can still tell you a lot about a person. i do wonder what other essay topics connie chose not to write about — i could have gone without a few of these on first read, while i also wanted to know more about qing and connie’s relationship
