A review by freddie
Ripples and Other Stories by Shih-Li Kow

5.0

This is an unapologetic and eclectic collection of Malaysiana stories, largely about the ordinary and the mundane. Not only aee the individual stories fun to read, but the stories are interconnected and I enjoy finding the threads that connect different stories together. The collection lacks the superficial edginess and sugarcoating that typically makes Malaysiana cloying or seem trying too hard.
