We Should Never Meet: Stories by Aimee Phan

3.0

Nice weaving together of different narratives which are part of a larger story. The scope of the issue may have been beyond the ability of a few stories to tell, but its many different facets were explored, albeit in snapshot form. The book moves with grace, after the first couple of fumbling stories where it attempts to establish its purpose. Some stories are stronger than others. Phan does a good job of insinuating further narrative for the reader to imagine: each story tells more than it explicitly says.
