Derek Song is 50% done with Sweet Bean Paste

Can’t finish this one. Maybe the translation didn’t do it justice, but it’s just not well written. Nice idea though

Derek Song is 50% done with The Illustrated Man

Enjoying this one. Wasn’t expecting the format (a collection of independent short stories, loosely connected by a narrative ft. The Illustrated Man) but each is attention-grabbing and evocative

Derek Song is on page 12 of 336 of The Lion Women of Tehran

oh man... having a hard time with this one... it just does not feel very well-written. i don't need to have the "life-altering betrayal" bluntly foreshadowed (i.e., stated outright) five times in the opening chapter. i might have to put this one down :(
