My Grading Score = 100% (S)
The connection that a parent and child can have with each other and the tragedy that can occur when there is a hard disconnect between the two is something that I feel was executed to a masterclass level here in the short story. There's not much that can be said that I feel would do justice to how great this short story is and how it was all portrayed, and I can understand why this won awards.
Verdict
The Paper Menagerie is one of my new favorite short stories of all time. I absolutely loved basically everything about it. It is very impressive that Ken Liu, in something that only lasted thirty-two pages, can make me feel a way that I couldn't fathom feeling with that length.
