Lake Like a Mirror by Ho Sok FongMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I confess many of the stories didn't make sense, or just didn't seem to go anywhere. Having said that, I did enjoy some of them. My favorite was probably the last one (March in a small town). I'm still not sure I understood it, but the repetition, which seemed in one location but ended up being in another (I think) was excellent and thought-provoking. The first story (The Wall) was also good. These were all slightly surrealist and apparently the author (Chinese Malaysian) had a story banned in Malaysian papers, although I'm not sure why based on this collection.
