rental house - weike wang (2024)




un-put-downable for the flowing pace modest heft and painfully sharply astute observations about immigrant mindset vs. entrenched working class grievances vs. the chinese perspective towards family obligations. it is in turns aggravating and suffocating and, because i was also there for a bit, rather dauntingly authentic.

excuse me while i go look up her other books.
