gondorsfinest 's review for:

The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu
5.0

Reading this, I felt an almost physical pain about what I've given up for my kids, and I don't even have kids! Ken Liu is so talented. Making me feel so devastated for the narrator's poor mom within so few pages really is an art form. She must have been so lonely and heartbroken all these years while her son wanted nothing to do with his own Chinese heritage. What a beautiful story.
