Thanks to Goodreads and St. Martins Press for this ARC.

I didn't get past page 20 of this book. I'm still scratching my head thinking what am I reading. There had to be a plot somewhere and a connection.

Sorry, this book wasn't for me.

2.5 out of 5. I can't really say much more. The collection came across my desk carrying some intrigue but, in the end, I found it a little listless. Not quite to the point of being boring - but I just never really got into it. I expected to be transported and instead felt very conscious of being right smack where I was. Perhaps a problem of expectations - but so it goes, you know?

Very highly recommend. These are not uplifting or cheerful stories—every one of them is slightly-to-very menacing, even the one that is also funny—but I came away feeling like I was offered a good series of capsules of life in contemporary China (and one from the '70s after the death of Mao) in the way that fiction can really take on that task.

Folks who say they don't like short stories might want to get over that for this one. It's worth it.
