I just feel like - after this many books - ARR might start to develop her own style a little bit. So this is not me hating on it by ANY means. I already KNEW ARR seemed to pattern her writing after KA quite a bit and here I am still reading it. Quite frankly, I don't actually fucking care about this. Seriously, all we were missing were some henleys, the word "beauty" a million times, and some fucking idiotic nickname like "Button." This doesn't include the chin lifts and the clenching jaws.Īnd these are only the ones I started highlighting when I starting noticing a.pattern. ![]() 'This is us getting along,' July says, and SHE'S NOT WRONG.

Canadian Children's Book Centre Our Choice, 2007 ![]() ![]() ![]() The collection’s title and inspiration, Ma notes in her acknowledgements, come from the film historian Jeanine Basinger’s book A Woman’s View. She continues her blending of speculative and realist in Bliss Montage, a collection of eight sometimes satiric stories, all told from a woman’s point of view. With fluid ease, Ma merges speculative and realistic fiction as she explores what happens in the aftermath of disaster, including who’s in power (in Candace’s case, Bob, a former IT technician), who controls culture, and who decides the guidelines for religious practice. Ling Ma’s eerily prescient 2018 novel Severance, which she has described as an “apocalyptic thriller, coming-of-age roman à clef, immigration narrative, and office novel,” revolves around Candace Chen, a millennial who works at a Bible-publishing firm, and who is one of nine survivors who flee New York City during the fictitious 2011 Shen fever pandemic. ![]() |
