War Trash de Ha Jin
An interesting perspective told in a deeply boring manner.
Jin tells the story of an extraordinary personality from a culture that is to me quite unfamiliar, managing to make that culture accessible enough to appreciate that personality in context without being dry. He recreates Li Bai from skeletal and conflicting annals, his sympathetic novelistic imagination, and Li Bai’s poetry. A remarkable feat and a deeply enjoyable account of a flawed fantastic fascinating person, his poetry, and his world.
Twelve stories with themes like immigrants in transition, culture clashes, vanity, identity, and family traditions. Ha Jin's characters are so well drawn they keep speaking to me after I have closed the book. I could see A Good Fall as a movie with interconnecting stories of Chinese immigrants living in Flushing, New York. Maybe they are all living in the same apartment and pass each other on the stairs? Each suffering their secrets in silence?
