A review by abmiller42
Beijing Doll by Chun Sue

This was fun- but would have been more fun to read as a teenager. The bulk of the book consists of dramatic, cafeteria-table-esque recaps of the narrator’s dates with a string of wan poets with long hair, but in between are fun glimpses of a young punk working for rock magazines, going to shows, and forming bands in Beijing in the 90s. It’s lovable and angsty and cringey.
