Favorite stories were: Lulu, On the Street Where You Live, and Gubeikou Spirit
New Fruit was disturbing and engrossing, but the social and political commentary was a little too on the nose for me.
Hotline Girl and Field Notes on a Marriage were both so sad too, and sad in an unsettling way. The rest of the stories were mid. Worth picking up if you want a quick and strange read.
