Yu, An

Chok’s graceful narration works in tandem with the otherworldly atmosphere that Yu has created. This unforgettable listen should please fans of Hiroko Oyamada.

Replete with dreamlike sequences, enclosed walls, and talking mushrooms, the narrative leaves Bai Yu’s actual existence unclear, giving fantasy fans much to ponder. Not a story for all readers, but those who enjoyed Yu’s previous work or surrealistic fiction like Hiroko Oyamada’s The Hole will likely welcome her latest offering.
