5.0 out of 5 stars
definitely worth reading...
There are some very lovely, well-crafted stories in this collection. Chan really captures the mood of growing up in the 70's and 80's in the landscape of Southern California. I particularly enjoyed "Falling," "Brilliant Disguise", and the final story in the collection. Chan's writing is honest and reflective, and his language is poetic without being...

not very good

There are some very lovely, well-crafted stories in this collection. Chan really captures the mood of growing up in the 70's and 80's in the landscape of Southern California. I particularly enjoyed "Falling," "Brilliant Disguise", and the final story in the collection. Chan's writing is honest and reflective, and his language is poetic without being flowery. I was impressed by how he developed and wove in the themes of transformation and self-discovery to bind the stories together and create a satisfying arc in the collection. I look forward to reading more from him.
