The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories

My introduction to Ken Liu was in the Nebula Awards Showcase 2013. It featured the title story from this collection. I absolutely loved it then and I loved it reading it again for this online book club selection. In fact, I loved almost all the stories in this collection. A few were boring, but still had beautiful prose. The prose was a feature in every story. It set the mood and enhanced the world-building. Almost all the stories featured Asian characters struggling with identity. Several of them were indictments of the treatment of the Chinese people by other peoples and countries. In my usual manner with collections, I'll mention a few of the stories here that I thought stood out from the others.
