A money-hungry frog exploring every opportunity to make a dollar runs into the "Eternal Smile". And a corporate drone responds to an email from a Nigerian prince ... Looking around at the reviews ... it's loneliness that ties these stories together? I think it more has to do with how we embrace truth. Each hero of the stories faces a moment to embrace the truth or the illusion. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Meet Duncan. Charming and brave, he's the Princess's favorite-- and he's on his way to winning the throne. But lately, the walls of reality in Duncan's kingdom are wearing a little thin-- -- Meet Gran'pa Greenbax. Nothing seems to satisfy this greedy old frog's longing for a pool full of gold-- until, one day, a mysterious smile appears in the sky. Has his chance at happiness come at last? -- Meet Janet. Her nine-to-five life takes a turn for the romantic when she learns in an email from a mysterious Nigerian prince that she has been chosen to liberate his family's vast fortune. All he needs is her banking information. In three very different stories, master storytellers Gene Yang and Derek Kirk Kim pit fantasy against reality, for good or for ill" -- cover leaf.

A pretty quick read, and an impulse grab when perusing the YA section because I haven't read all of Gene Luen Yang's works ([b:Boxers|17210470|Boxers (Boxers & Saints, #1)|Gene Luen Yang|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1359199413l/17210470._SX50_.jpg|23691809] and [b:Saints|17210471|Saints (Boxers & Saints, #2)|Gene Luen Yang|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1359199657l/17210471._SX50_.jpg|23691810] are sitting on my shelf...) Probably considered YA for length/previous works by author, though it does deal with some heavy topics.
Three short stories, illustrated that all have a little bit to do with an imagined environment that may not necessarily match reality for various reasons- escapism in 2 out of 3, capitalism for another 2/3 (if you were wondering, the third story matches both those imo). Great use of color to show the differences between worlds. The third one is the standout for me. ( )
