same vein as cherimae (canā€™t tag for some reason lol), this book was really an experiment in empathy and forgiving for a first-gen immigrant. also talks a lot about contemporary workplace politics and just the monotony of modern life but I found it to be optimistic ultimately. Very well written and you can finish it in like 3 days.

Every time someone mentions Severance, Iā€™m always thinking about this book by Ling Ma. Itā€™s incredible, I finished it in one day, I was anxious the entire time.

if thereā€™s a sad asian girl book ill read it and this one was stunning and crushed my heart with its relatability. short stories w protagonists managing their lack of self worth, feeling undesirable, being around white ppl, feeling weird as fuck in america, etc.

Itā€™s short, I read it in one sitting and it seasoned the next few days. Everything felt off, like there were undercurrents you couldnā€™t see

Very long walkways, dotted with smoking lounges. Marble, ambient music, the occasional military patrols armed with ARs. Urinals with petite candle icons so you know where to aim.
