A review by confused_cat
Afterparties by Anthony Veasna So

emotional funny reflective sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

The stories are often times shocking, funny, tragic, and outrageous. However, these stories feel terribly authentic. I am not Cambo American and yet I feel like I know the people in the story and these fictional characters are based on some real people's life.

If anything, just go and read the Three Women of Chuck's donuts in the New Yorker website for a quick taste of Anthony So's wonderful writing.
