A review by freddie
BONE WEIGHT and Other Stories by Shih-Li Kow

4.0

Although the stories are not all interconnected (a la the previous collection Ripples), there are separate blocks of interconnected stories which lend this collection an interesting vibe. I like how science fiction (and a bit of fantasy) is employed in some stories to convey commentary on some issues in contemporary Malaysian society, without sacrificing the nuance and complexities that come with them.
