A unique and disorienting story, with three narratives that switch without warning, with nested stories within them. Despite the odd events and storytelling method, it feels grounded and the themes feel clear and consistent. Focuses on Asian American identity, family grief/relationships, capitalism/corporate corruption, and separating art from the artist. Criticisms of society and culture are spot on and quite funny, and the story is moving and fascinating to unravel.
