The Seventh Day by Yu Hua

4.0

I chose this title for the "takes place in Asia" category of the Read Harder challenge. The way the author uses death and an afterlife as a lens through which he tells different, but interconnected stories is quite original, I thought. Through all the little vignettes, the main character's story never gets lost. Surreal and haunting.
