Amazing short stories

5 stars

A really stunning collections of stories that range from a heartbreaking but beautiful tale, suffused with magical realism, of a son's coming to terms with his mothers experience as a immigrant, to a rumination on the nature of memory told through the recollections of an alien to the adventures of Chinese prospectors in gold rush Idaho. Liu's fiction uses the fantastical and speculative to explore the human condition in tender provocative ways that left me wanting more, which luckily, exist in his other books!
