Done done done finally done! It only took two months lmao. An interesting collection of short stories and essays but my god my reading rut was way too real.
The essays on story craft, female writership in Chinese scifi/fantasy, well as considerations that is given to translation work process.
The short stories are mixed, some was okay/not memorable, a few I had to look up to see what I was suppose to get out of the experience, quite a number of them were beautifully written, and at least one of them made me physically recoil with have graphic it was.
Overall Im glad for the experience but man probably wouldnt read this again unless somehow I need it as a reference.
