A review by solitaryandunsustained
Severance by Ling Ma

3.5

Was really interesting as somewhat of a dark satire. Made interesting comments on consumerism and capitalism in the time of crisis, especially in regards to Americanism and our lack of empathy for other countries facing crisis (unless it begins to pose threats of affecting us). I'd love for this book to be made into a movie with awkwafina, she just seems great for the role, and she's already done the movie "the farewell" that deals with family and personal identity in response to being a Chinese immigrant in America.
