I absolutely loved this collection of short stories (her first book written in English). The stories and their settings are incredibly varied - my two favourite stories were one about meeting someone in the cinema, adding them on Facebook, only for them to kill themselves the same day, leading to a rumination on whether you could fall in love with someone simply through their online presence, and the other a tour de force on the politics of succession in Confucian times.
