Review: Braised Pork

Braised Pork by An Yu
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was similar to Ghost music in that I'm not really sure I got it. I think this magical surrealism just doesn't really click for me. Regardless, I enjoyed this one slightly more than Ghost music, although I didn't like the ending. I felt like the author just didn't know how to end it really.

I even tried reading other reviews, to see what I was missing about the world of water or the fish-man, or why Jia Jia's mom acted the way she did, but even the reviews raving about it don't seem to understand. Maybe it isn't symbolism at all. I don't know...
