Land of Big Numbers submitted by nemiller on July 19, 2021, 9:34am This was a really interesting mix of stories, in various degrees of magical realism. I listened to the audiobook on overdrive, which I recommend. I liked how different stories were read by different narrators.

Quick read submitted by cnaheedy on July 25, 2022, 9:20am This short story collection was captivating to read, and provided insight I hadn't previously had into Chinese culture.
